to be


as the wind rolls out

and licks the hogbacks of my scars

alters light, dark, and pain

brings forth shadows from afar


as I succumb to raw anxiety

and watch the waves that wash ashore

erasing footprints, castles, joy

dreaming of less, hungry for more

I cannot help but wonder

release escapes my grip

self and ego blown asunder

what is the purpose of all this?

what will I hold on to?

but you smile, and that’s enough

for me
