I want to leave

I want to leave.
Not just this room, its people, my breath crushing waste.
Not just this tethered sham, absurd marionette world.
Not just this crafty shepherd’s panacea.
No. I just want to BE elsewhere.

I want to know.
Is all you and I do, say, achieve, share, prepare and care for;
Is all you and I admire, hate, spoil, cry over and destroy;
Is all you and I hope for, taught about and embraced over,
Erased by the cosmic gardener?

I want to be still.
Rejoice in NOW, sense everything, leave nothing unsaid, undone.
Nature’s confetti; good for the moment then left to the rain.
