“If you should rise from Nowhere up to Somewhere,
From being No one up to being Someone,
Be sure to keep repeating to yourself
You owe it to an arbitrary god
Whose mercy to you rather than to others
Won’t bear to critical examination.
Stay unassuming. If for lack of license
To wear the uniform of who you are,
You should be tempted to make up for it
In a subordinationg look or toe,
Beware of coming too much to the surface
And using for apparel hat was meant
To be the curtain of the inmost soul.”-Robert Frost
Someone
by Carmen H Gray
Someone
Captures the brightness
That you surrender
As it trails behind you
Someone
Gently transforms
The negative space
Obstinately clinging inside you
Someone
Holds fast to the unsung songs
Inspired by
Your presence
Someone
Who once was
No One
Not so long ago
One response to “Someone”
a lovely enigmatic poem.
