Mellifluous Murmurs

A Plot Line

There's a plot line 

to every story

or maybe

a context

within a piece of writing.

You 

are the plot line 

in your story 

but then 

your story becomes too minimal 

since there's an outer periphery;

a book..

So you 

become the story

 in your book. 

Your pupils, they dilate!

And the book becomes a volume 

and this shows you, that life,

 even when it comes unannounced 

or uninvited, 

is your show.

Your headline.

You become 

the philosophy 

in your analysis 

You become 

the subject

 of your study!

You become 

what you 

pursue,

only if you 

believe 

that you are 

who you are.

This may 

be all 

about you 

but when you

 sit with yourself 

and inhale

 your aroma,

you are absorbing your warmth.

Be still.

I know that fearlessness 

exists

on the patch

that sits on your shoulder.

But fear not,

Captain.

Don't you allow

 it to steer your ship,

 you'll grant yourself a burden.

The same burden

that you think

you are.
