It is now
and in this
where I find
that my peace
rests in silence
being absent from
not absent to
quiets what’s been
what I knew
as my humanity
emotion makes not
one only hope
but gives rise
to one’s despair
being absent from
gives one an
unbridled compassion for
everything that is
that is not
the paradox human

Lessons
Life is
lessons the
teacher matters
not the
meaning of
others lies
in you
not them
they aren’t
the problem
nor you
the solution
it’s the
lesson that’s
always learned
JourneyOn
The one thing
that I have
chosen not of
renders all those
that I have
meaningless it’s in
this silence that
I find myself
floating
somewhere close to
surface but not
being now a
creature of the
deep
HomeIsTheWho
And after having
lost everything that
I had known
I kept moving
forward knowing that
I would land
somewhere and that
the where meant
less to me
than the who
for the who
would be home
…now…
And now
the noise
of having
lived a
life has
gone silent
and I’m
left with
nothing but
