The universe answers
unasked questions
with resounding force;
I walk softly
and avoid the grass,
the better to escape unscathed.
Letting go is still beyond me;
as prophesied, I find myself
biting my nails, grinding my teeth,
chanting a mantra to the cadence of "why,"
memories on repeat,
searching for flaws.
A stillness sets in, and I realize--
I'm no more alone than I was,
and less hollow;
my feet know their way home,
and though the door may be locked,
I know where the spare key is hidden.

I was pulled in by the title - brilliant.
I found as I read this I wanted to stop by every line, take good look and ponder a while. I love it when a poem makes me feel like that.
Great job.

This is really good. No wasted words, just how I like my poems. I like the way you word things. It's very interesting and very easy to understand.

lol, easy to understand? That's a first. =) I try to walk a very fine line between informative and vague, so it's mysterious and different, but still easy to relate to, and open to interpretation. I'm glad you enjoy it.

Good self-searching piece. I like the last verse in particular. Of course,
everything led up to the conclusion.
