Vine

conversation swirls

delightful sound fills this room

thought and thought entwine

word and word intersperse

fellowship leaps

flits as bird from limb to limb

within sun filled sky

word’s ebb and flow

thought’s give and take

kaleidoscopic

brilliantly lovely

off to the side

becoming distant from my

attempt at contribution

trying to remove myself

while faster, louder words

squash or steal or sweep aside

a flood of words

strangling my own

before fully grown

push me ever further

into the dark
