When she saw countless worlds inside a flower
and held eternity in her hands
she decided to change from a rock into water.
She let herself become hollow like an old tree
so she could take everything in.
And she forgot everything she had learned,
so she could learn it all again.
The sound of the rushing water deafened her ears
and the sight of the stars blinded her eyes.
Always she carried with her the river in her ears
and the stars in her dead eyes,
knowing one day she would return to them.
She writes letters at one in the morning
letters she will never send.
To people who wouldn't understand why she was writing them
because she hadn't seen them in years.
But she wants to keep thinking of you
until she forgets who you are.
She turns to the world and shouts
“You spend your precious seconds doing nothing. So stop everything”
