I am that which is becoming

The realization of my dream

Which I’ve been asleep to for these past ten years

And ten years from now I’ll wake again

And in a new direction turn suddenly

Unendingly

And into the sun

The trees up here are thin and fair
Beneath thickened wind which howls away
How they bend and sway and cannot bare
To be spoken of as if they will not stay

I can feel the deep gray clay beneath
The water where my father begs it lay
There is not so much as an autumn leaf of scented left
As there is searing cold to be brushed away

The trees up here are thin and fair
Beneath thickened wind which howls away
How they bend and sway and cannot bare
To be spoken of as if they will not stay

inhale some carbon
**** a brick
men with guns
starving
women with knives
carving
and there's some
raving
under a wave
caving
we held tomorrow
up
robbed it
the evidence
will drown

I S A A C
setting myself up for rejection
but what is worse, feeling or rejecting?
rather feel the cuts than ignore the eruption
rather deal with my feelings as they are disrupting
my day to day
the way i communicate
with you and him
cut off the ones that didn’t hit
different than you
do you understand me like i understand you?

Three children were sitting quietly under a tree.
The silence that surrounding the location astounded me.
For a little while, I forgot I was in the midst of life.

as sunlight dims
and skies grey

don't go chasing
rainbows now

they hide themselves
inside the clouds

don't become entranced
as violet, blue and yellow dance

as orange, red and indigo
build a bridge that's faux

you won't find a *** of gold
after the colors slide

if you stare into the sun,
you'll go blind
