commercial break

i put my life on pause
for a much needed commerical break
the filming of it
the playing of it pulled at my soul

rewinding i found myself
in a supermarket aisle, staring at
Brillo pads and reading the flavors of Kool-Aid
still framed life
black and white soon after
melting into colors bleeding internally
with a passion indivisible

being alive i called it
calling the shots i mean, the moments magical
proved with a meaning defined
the earth turned her face
towards the sun - everyone looked
everyone listened
everyone appeared alive, youthfully
beautiful

i evolved from
decade to decade, i gave, i was given

i laugh inside out
listening for the last kernel of popcorn
to signal

commercial over....
