Skin

I've shed my skin a million times

Sloughing off the dead cells

Standing in a snowstorm of

Flake and dust

But every new skin appears the same

Same thoughts

Same emotions

Same old conditioned behaviours

Where is my new beginning?

Where is the skin that wears

It's heart on the outside?

Thanks for the comment Ray. I'm feeling a bit stale at the moment but I find that writing keeps the whole snowstorm in motion - so just keeping on keeping on.

I got a picture of the Christmas snow shakers Hazel - where in fact some larger entity shakes us up for some greater cause of which we are largely unaware - but you have become aware - good stuff!

Hi Colin, I know. Same old skin. Yawn. Yawn.

Hi Hazel, this seems to be on a similar theme to one you posted a little while back if my memory serves me correctly. I very much like the idea behind this and the way you bring the reader to the concluding lines. Thanks for sharing with us. Col.
