Craved
The process but not the finished item
I wanted to learn but I didn’t want to continue
I enjoyed
The process
Of
The mistakes
Because there was no pressure for perfection
No questions of infinity
No senseless thoughts
No shapeless ideas
They were what they were
They were accepted and cherished
I could laugh without judgment
It wouldn’t be so permanent
Like building sand castles
With the knowledge
That soon the ocean would deface them
But still, hours would be spent
Before the mighty tides washed away
The creations
Free of thought
But filled with being
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not let this harm you
Because we learned
Crying ourselves to sleep
Clutching hands
As we jumped the mountain
Into this new realm
Of endless possibilities
We fought the storm together
And we made it
But that does not mean
We will fight every storm together
New scents will linger
And we will discover more about this world
But we will not have
The same naive charm
As we once did
So take this
As a weapon
Not a ****** dagger
wounding flesh
Create and evolve
Into this world
Release yourselves from the womb we created
The air is fresh
it stings
But soon the scar will heal over
And you will smile
At the nonsense
Because it packed your bag
Now ready
Surge through
The thousands
  And remember to love for all it is
