Not Content

By Keira De Vita

Her feet trace along

Making marks

Feelings of openness… emptiness

Alone but surrounded by the world

Engulfed in a feeling of content

Sprinting

Chest expands

The aching lungs

Alone but surrounded

No sorrow no worries

Openness… emptiness

Comparatively content

The fine sand clumped together on her feet

Body slumps to the ground

The sand hugs her

No one is around

No sorrow no worries

Openness… emptiness

Fully content

The oranges and the pinks

Clouds of pure comfort

Voices of the waves, of the sky, of the birds, the animals in the depth

No sorrow no worries

Openness… emptiness

Fully content

Eyes open

Reality sets in

It is different

Not want she wants

She is back

Sorrow Worries

Openness… emptiness

Not content
