Time has no eyes
to lift its lids
open wide
and realize
the outer joy
hides
the inner demise.
Judgment arose
turned up its nose
to criticize
the part of my heart
encaptured, enraptured
in your pale blue eyes.
God, there’s not a thing
I wouldn’t doΒ
to guide you,
to try toΒ
help you
surviveβ
to see the joy in being alive.
But that’s the thing:
Time has no eyes.
Kailani NorwellΒ has a big mouth, a big heart, a big brain (metaphorically speaking), a big fucking ego, and an even bigger take on everything and anything. She has an unquenchable thirst for knowledgeβto learn all that she canβand for personal development. While she dreams larger than life and encourages others to follow what puts sparks in their eyes, she typically plays incredibly small. She has indebted herself for Americaβs most expensive therapistβa bachelorβs and masterβs degree in clinical psychology. Writing is her passion. Itβs what ignites her soul. It is her most sincere form of expression. She doesnβt think sheβs to write the next great American novel, but sheβs to write something.
