Plan

as if to ravish all that is free
a whirlwind of thoughts
craves for a cheap thrill.
to be free of it at all
a slow gradual plan is called for.
the source of the vacuum is
lack of joy, friendship, and purpose.
to find them:
run towards what you are afraid of.
let go of selfishness.
and do what feels the most right thing to do.
it’s rather short, this life.
worry less of dollar games.
worry more of human touches.
offer your best effort to the world.
sing a song of childhood when you feel down.
you are remembered.
but also you won’t be remembered.
may your world be
filled with warmth and softness
in times of the light
in times of the dark.
