MY COMPASS
Memory often fails me
losing myself in the madness
feeling directionless
reflectionless
But the page holds my place
makes itself anything I may need that day
like a mirror
a compass
a white noise machine
a memory
The page is my lineless welcome mat
bringing me home
so I can see myself in the words
