Unaware
Every breath is a mountain
and every heartbeat is the ocean at its feet
with eyes closed
we hurtle across the earth
irreverent and unaware
of the sheer magnitude of the rock
our lives are built on
with a foundation that’s
unshakeable
though we fear the breeze as it skims the seas
never hearing the ocean as it beats
at the feet of the greatest mountain
that ever was or will be
your being and mine
made perfect
yet unaware.

When writing poetry, Kirsty follows a stream-of-consciousness process to make sense of the world—and herself. She also uses poetry to wallow in her daydreams. Her work has appeared in Free the Verse, WordSwell, KUDU, and elsewhere. You’ll find her with her cat, Dream, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
