In the world
I am one of the many
a distant stranger
wrinkled face
gray goddess.
Just like you.
It is a daily challenge to be noticed.
To be recognized, near impossible.
The special moments are few and far.
When they come
I feel gifted, energized
my spirit soars
until my inner editor
a fanatic
delivers
another sucker punch.
And as the blood drains
from my muse
it reminds me of
a spangled, lone star tick
who has cracked my code again
the equation elemental,
silence the fanatic.
