Reducto!

From a writing prompt shared with my friend, Adi: "Wand of Abstractness".

 

 

Concrete thought-blocks,

Age-hardened,

 

Exclamation points of

Creativity’s surrender

To practicality

 

They sit inert,

Heavy, upon the

Barren expanse of a land

Once green and fertile

 

Help me, my friend,

Lift this light-heavy

Wand of abstraction

 

To strike the calcified patterns,

 

Watch them turn to dust

That, rising in the breeze,

Seeds new clouds,

Mingles with the airborne

Waters of life to make

Rain,

Fertile rain,

That turns the landscape

Green again
