Raison

I wonder if I unleashed Pandora for myself.
boredom of living in a small town is real.
I’ve endured strikes of lightening bolts
withstood the weight of the ocean
and bled thousands of cuts by the others.
through it all, I brew one soul, one heart.
yet I wonder, what is the meaning of all this?
why go through such inglorious, tedious path?
perhaps, it is the path that I must take.
raison d’être. c’est toute.

Weight

even if you are lifting up a mere pebble
let all your senses focus on its subtle weight
feel it’s existence, acknowledge its presence.
you don’t need to remember all the stars,
but remember this little pebble in your hand.
it is here for you now. you only.
see the world in this pebble.
feel it, acknowledge it.
may you not treat this pebble lightly.
