My childhood
Born and died on a hook called quietness
In the stillness growing with contemplative reverence
Until meadow flowers and cattails calm
Burst forth with artistic being again
And now, having been adopted and reborn on the same mountain breeze
My perspective has changed me entirely
To adopt the sun as quite my own
And in moonlight see, to forgive the Father
For as dirt is dead and dies eternally
So the seed breaths quietly, living on in life and death
To reflect the stillwaters on the aspiring breeze
It ends as it began
Quietly
Indefinitely, Me

Sometimes I feel like I came to this place for someone else...

I don't think I was ever supposed to be here but my empathy ties me to this place.

I believe that one day I will leave this place...




...Maybe when my disinterest overtakes me or when I finally find that "bottom" part of rock bottom and fall through it to something better

I'm trying to reach somewhere that does not exist in this place
