he centers himself in this
stable imitation of
established perfection that
will never be true
will he find one day as
he throws it away that
there is no right answer and
no right way

i wonder sometimes if
the hill that he climbs will
crumble
or rise to the
emptiest skies of
perfection and dreams that
are not what they seem or
near what he wanted to be

i wonder if one day
one week or one year
he'll stop and untie that
one loose thread of fear
and untangle simplicity
rip perfection to shreads

i wonder what will be left

'untie that
one loose thread of fear
and untangle simplicity'


I enjoyed this thought ...
seems so simple, yet sometimes difficult to do.
