LIQUID

how is it that i feel this strange way, even though i choose to ignore it, to brush it aside like noise coming from a construction site. what is this uneasiness, the shaking of my body at the hands of winter? do i simply choose to ignore it because i consider it insignificant or is it simply that am not brave enough to face the consequences of such thoughts? these thoughts that are harder to understand than reaching the reefs of the sea. i occasionally let the sun burn my skin, and let the rain drench my body hoping i would find answers in suffering, but all it has taught me is too wiser in taking decisions, as i am confronted with a cold later. how is it that we could be like liquid, formless and shapeless, sinking deeper and understanding every molecule of our existence? how is it that we align ourselves with the secrets we hold that we ourselves, are not even aware of? maybe we have always been like this, forbidden from knowing some parts about ourselves. yet we think we know the world more, when the secrets within us are lost in the dunes of the desert. this desert doesn’t really have an oasis, because the water dried up a long time ago, when humans didn’t even begin to question themselves. to be like liquid now, to be free and yet know our deepest selves, maybe all we need is a little rain in this desert? but the coast is far, and the winds only carry sand silt. i wonder if this is how a civilization dies.
