Is there
~nothing~
more to this feeling

migration
of emotion
~here~
to there
and back again

without the seasons

crossing the river
one in a million
of bodies
trampling bones
fragile

fighting for greener pastures
grazed skins

I do not make it
to ~graze~
upon the green

simply stuck
in between
.
.
.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Sounds like you are stuck...perhaps you need some transmigration.   Lovely images.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This so reminded me of something I've been meaning to write about--the "vee" formation of flocks in migrating flight--how the strongest bird takes the lead, and the others follow that break in the wind for the sake of velocity...

smile?

Enjoyed this much gemma. Hugging you. For somebody who is always admiring the brainpower of others--yer not so bad yerself.

stuck but for a time then off to a new adventure . . . then back again
yes, I know . . . seems never-ending
this cycle of insanity
Each day resembles the last . . .

It sort of sounds like being in the bardo state, as I understand it.

~ May you graze upon the green
  and be treated like a queen!
