I'm sitting, listening quietly
wondering if existence matters,
in the eyes of strangers-
whether the light creeps through
or distills the vibrations bleeding into...
one moment of perfection.

Tiny stairsteps hide the shadowy stare
of a thousand bullets piercing the tainted moon
and I memorize the reflection,
a glitter in the thickening wood.
I hear a restless voice breezing the open skin
of my neck, pushing me into the depth-

Yet I stand. Patient. A tall particle of life,
gently swaying in the stirring wind.
Bent, weathered and changed-
I breathe the existence within peacefully.


To be great is to be misunderstood. Emerson
