2011
Finalist in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition
My mind is a garden, where thoughts flitter through the air,
Butterflies that dance and prance, light without a care.
I struggle to catch one, but it slips right through my fingers,
Yet another fleeting notion that I fail to ensnare.
My ideas are shattered mirrors, pieced together into one,
I carry them inside my head, afraid they'll come undone.
When they do I find I'm lost to the design that never lingers,
In the briefest moment all my works have come to none.
