Take a breath – please
so caught
reeled in
forgetting
to breathe
***
Look Away -Please
mesmerized
by something that isn’t real
magnetized
by the pull
***
Look around – Please
see
there is a world
of reality
something to hold on to
***
Draw Back -Please
before you become
sucked
into a vortex of passion
illusion
***
Where
passion appears
to be
everything…
Thanks Liebe Dich for the photo of The Storm
This year for A to Z challenge, I am using the Nautilus as my inspiration all month. The shell has many chambers (at least enough to fit all the letters.) You will find poetry, You will find some dark stuff (as I am attempting to branch into the horror genre), You will also see a smattering of short stories or prose (some with children in mind) others as lessons that we can all learn from. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know some talented writers over this month long writing journey. Please check over at the A to Z challenge and see what they are up to; they are a fine bunch of folks.

Well explained. I must remember that the next time I jump straight in. Catching up, got sidetracked with other life stuff there for a moment.
