When I Lift The Lid
written by: Paul Vincent Cannon
@pvcannon
I have been putting this off,
feeling like Pandora
wondering,
what will happen when
I lift the lid –
how will I feel,
how will others feel,
and the consequences,
will there be consequences?
A towering wave,
already I am imagining
how to hold my breath.
I am a contemplative who is passionate about social justice, environmental care, life, poetry and nearly everything else. I live in Australia and I have a love for the bush, the textures and colours, especially the arid and isolated places, which I find deeply inspiring. I'm a romantic, and a creative person. My influences include Keats, GM Hopkins, Robert Frost, Mary Oliver, RS Thomas, Pablo Neruda, Bukowski, Ginsberg and Dylan.
