Enigma of self.

by @merrideth-zierlein

The stars in the sky. At which I stare at for hours Metaphors for the faults and the perfections Living within all of us. The mountains in the distance. Strong and everlasting. A constant reminder to live, And be fierce, To brave the wind and embrace The storms. To withstand the erosion and corruption Of the surrounding world. The bluest of hues in the sky. A bright notification that I am here. I am alive. I make mistakes, such are the clouds. But I can still thrive. The moon in my view. Crater littered and dust filled. Unappreciated for its work. Controlling the tides of emotions that Fester within me within you. The dandelions. A weed, a pest, yet a beautiful metaphor That we are not what we seem. Delicate and eloquent A staple of love that sounds silly Alluring and mesmerizing A song of no words. The music that keeps me awake at night. A melody of feelings and thoughts. Questions with little answers which are hard to seek and even harder to fathom. But you are of utmost importance. A plethora of lessons that impact me deeper than you could ever know Not because of lack of will Yet a lack of my coveyance A lack of my empathy A lack of my heart. Maybe it is lost too.
