It’s here I belong

With my body melding with yours

And my heart beating

To the music of our souls...

Ignorant is one who is born,

And lives as they are.

If you seek to stand alone,

And prove each life Is sacred

Take the journey of truth

And slay the darkness

That tempts us all.

But be aware this knowledge…

For a transformation

Isn’t without sacrifice.

And a journey for truth

leads to great grief

But at least you will know.

And is knowledge not…

the utmost goal in existence...

I find myself looking inward

even when I try to escape.

It’s in the books I read,

The films I watch,

The Artists I praise,

that remind me the beauty of life.

But I often disregard myself…

Immersed in worlds that distract

from a life I don’t know how to live....

This isn’t the first,

but then what was the last?

It was here and gone,

but a feeling can’t be masked

The life I’ve lived is both one,

and many.

Despite a broken mind,

I still cherish memories.

This melody repeating,

I’ve heard once before…

But perhaps it’s not a song,

I’m just striking the same chord....

There was a relief,

in feeling the storms approach.

Perhaps I’ve wanted it to come.

Maybe I was just sick of waiting.

I watched it pulverize

like a movie on the screen,

and held onto the what was left

as if it wasn’t going to disappear....

Through and through

Running like hell

And forgetting why.

Various things I tried

In every life I’ve lived.

Some thing’s just never change....

Here your thoughts are irrelevant,

and that weight is finally gone.

Nothing matters anymore,

and isn’t that what you wanted?

In a place of nothingness,

There’s nothing to lose.

But without the possibility of loss,

You’ll never feel again....

I’m transfixed by my shadow,

when no path is certain.

I watch the steps it takes

as if I’m following someone else.

It’s a path I’ve created,

though these steps are not by choice,

But feelings that bind me

to the end of my story...

A fire burned here

And I’m laying in the ashes,

Changed but incomplete

I await the smoke to lift me

And fly me away

from this grief I set ablaze...

To experience the golden hour

Through serene country roads

Where fields of grass

become the sun itself

Bursting radiating warmth

across the infinite...
