I like how the 'I' in the last stanza gets its own line - highlighting, perhaps, the duality in the search. For some part of yourself, or for some other, how they could in fact be one and the same. Intricately structured for the rhythm, and as @jpartridge81 says, the minimalism contrasts the scope so well. I can't help myself, you know I'm a fan of these stripped back writes :)
Sometimes I light a white candle and ask the muse to move through, it is like automatic poetry in a way. ha. Not sure if others feel this way, or experience this? I experience this with all the things I do in the realm of creativity, as if I'm just the vessel/avatar.
That's awesome, very Edgar Allen Poe, haha. I don't do it intentionally, but sometimes poems just fall out of me in a way that makes it feel as if I'm being guided, somehow. I'll write more in ten minutes than I would usually after two hours of intense focus. I think it's something that comes with practice - your mind already knows which paths to take, it's just a matter of stepping back and letting it all happen!
Indeed. There is a magical vibe when it just flows. One of the reasons I do so many forms of art is because I need to bounce around in order to stay focused, if that makes sense...
