There’s a bit of a flaw in this code.
Old winds fly by forever
Never to be captured or contained
The trick is to
Accept nature at her word:
Fresh winds bring fresh
Worlds
Patience is key.
I stopped looking
And for a brief moment
You found me.
If I stop searching
Looking
Desiring
Perhaps for a longer moment
I will be found?
Like a tsunami devastating
Everything in its sight
Emotions arise
Devouring our best
Intentions
We are left discarded –
Thrown against a blackened road
Our broken bones bruise our
Flesh
And when all calm returns
The only thing we can cling to
Is a desperate
Hope.
The first cut
Apparently
Is the deepest
So I sliced myself
Over and over and over
Again
So I would never feel that
Lonely depth of pain
Anymore.
A black hole grows inside me and threatens to swallow me whole
The more I cast into it the more I am consumed
I am being eaten alive and the pain is
Relentless.
If I hold my heart out
Will you take it, will you dare?
Will you take my heart
Within your hands
Will you hold my heart with care ?
Will you love me as I love
Will you never let me go
Will you walk beside me
Will you love me so?
It was only when I stopped for awhile
And allowed the color to drain from my hair
That I saw the beauty and wisdom
In each strand of grey.
Sometimes
We need to set aside
Our desires, our wishes
Our wants, our strife
And simply be
Still
