Energy

how is it that
some people read on and on
and never get tired
while there are those
who get tired in 1 hour?
is it the matter of principle?
is it the matter of intelligence?
nothing is in your way to become
like the person next to you,
but you write your own story.
so what will it be:
a story of bitterness
or one of fearlessness?

Silence

when my heart no longer seeks distractions,
the eloquent silence arrives
like the dusk;
not freezing cold nor comfortably warm;
not too dark, but not too shiny.
as consciousness submerges into this realm
a silent resonance emanates from within.
listen to it, and walk.
do not fear,
for all is here,
and here it remains.

Acceptance

It is not my fault
that the ground I walked on
was already filled with trash.
yet I had turned my mind’s eye away
from the memory of having the walk
and lived on as nothing had happened.
I reached out my hand today
to the memory long neglected.
I accept who I was,
what I have seen, in spite of
what I had hope for
as I accept who I am now.
