		<description><![CDATA[There is a sweet stirring Like a hum. It dives down and spirals up And washes over  Licking at corners, tracing curves.  &#160; Moving, settling then moving again  A glance, a tug, a ricochet.  Her eyes close as she follows it with her mind.  &#160; Focusing on it as it blends softer and then fractures&#8230;]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a sweet stirring</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like a hum.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It dives down and spirals up</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And washes over </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Licking at corners, tracing curves. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moving, settling then moving again </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A glance, a tug, a ricochet. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her eyes close as she follows it with her mind. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Focusing on it as it blends softer and then fractures to pinpoints raw and bursting </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like fireworks ever expanding out and out. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each overlay vibrant, forced and then quickly fading. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a whir now. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like the wind through leaves or crashing waves. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pulsing like a waterfall gushing from a heavy rain. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pushing out, cascading. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blindly boldly racing down until it crashes and spirals upward, spilling everywhere </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a weight to all this movement and her watching over it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not being able to shut it off but for a few moments, when it yields to a very loud silence. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Holding that doesn&#8217;t last. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Picking up either central or from an edge it reboots and takes its way with her. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grief she calls it. Black out. Filling hollows and voids before unknown. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resting never. Just moving. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Was it ever </span><b><i>not</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> there?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A crack, like cymbals hitting. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Racing like a roller coaster dropping into its high speed fall. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plane that pulls in its wheels surges aloft. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walls collapse as a fire consumes their support.</span></p>
