The poem

Poetry

open your eyes

take a breath

see yourself

as the poem

everything you need to know

can be known in the spaces in between

the why

of your restless soul and your reckless heart

the fierceness of the blazing sky and the finest raindrops

the evergreen Eden putting out wildfires with only moonlight

the concrete jungles of burnt down cities with no pity

the beautiful nightmares as you fall and keep falling to your death in love

these dreams…

the nature of the fuckery holding back your progress, the doors you refuse to open — and close

this reasonable doubt, this irrational spirit, this coming and going of waves, this being water, this wild, this calm, these emotions, the faded memories, the plastic flowers collecting dust in even dustier attics, this stuff, this storm, this story, the poem — that is everything about who you are
