Nevermind
Maybe too early
Perhaps too late
Maybe a foot
Or a mile away
Maybe oceans
Or just over a stream
Is the distance that keeps you
From your dreams

Nevermind
Purple twilight creeping over the water
Silently and slow
The background noise begins to falter
The ocean breeze steadily blows
Among the rocks, upon soft sand is where I've found my home
Nestled safely, though abandoned by the sunset's glow

Strange Home

I walk in a wilderness
Of raw emotion
And feral thoughts
Constricting my chest
In a relentless vice
Unique calls
Echo in silence
Turning me deaf
And the shadows
Assault my eyes
Hiding in the blind spot.
My mind is *****
And my body is ravaged
The hollow knock
On an empty box
And somehow
I am home
 Jul 2015 Leelah
Nevermind
Beneath the silence
Unspoken words gurgled
Like a stream over rocks
But in your eyes
The meaning smoldered
Like warm coals
And I knew instantly
You were home

— The End —
