season's come and go my yin yang remains constant through rain and sun through death and life the compass remains fixed frozen in place searching for a horizon whose existence is uncertain my famine and abundance once leveled the scale now my famine is overwhelming like drowning but not able to die but forced to relive the process of death repeatedly plagued by the natural need for love it cannot be removed, destroyed, ignored or exchanged left unattended it grows desperate equaling to enslavement still sea worthy i follow my compass hoping for the storm to end and the shore to appear i no longer wish for the treasure just the glow of land a dream a wish a star that dies in the black sky unknown, lost among the billions and billions never to be remembered
