A ngels & Airwaves
Awakening
by Tory Breise
by Mariya Vulevich
Stories spin themselves around me
Gripping my soul, tipping my mind
Making me blind, as my eyes chase shadows
In the thick of waking dreams
Like all dreams, ephemeral they dissipate
As soon as I look away
Without conveying a single thought
Yet these visceral reactions remain
And my heart is stirred to action
Through non-logic and absence
I find tears in my eyes
My hand is stuck tightly in a fist
Waiting for this tempest to subside
So I may decide
How I truly feel
I am at the whim of the airwaves
I sit on the edge of my Seat *
Ready to flee
But I do not leave
The latest hitch quivers.
I know the sun is behind
and I’m quiet in these bleak days.
The fate of leaves reminds me
that all flows in the form of a circle.
Starting point and ending point,
are actually the same point.
However, each time is different
Autumn brings back blinding flashbacks
and I feel I am not here.
God, what is the reality?
From whose perspective do I look?
For a moment, I open my eyes,
but an image is the same.

It has Seen said, “You cannot move forward when you
live in the past.”
I believe this.
I can learn from my past.
But it doesn’t have to reflect my present.
Nor define my future.
Living in the present will keep me moving forward.
Onward to my goals.
