Description As I walk through my day I see
streets full of people with empty heads
and hollow souls. Rushing to get to places
they really don't want to go.
Searching for things they never really wanted.
And killing for things they put in a yard sales.
So I go to my place that they don't know about
my sanctuary if you will, inside
the walls of my mind yet larger than my world....
I fade from their eyes (I was never really there to start).
I fade from their goals for me, their desires
until only I am left with me/myself/and I.
I open my eyes and look down, but I see no hand.
I raise my arms to wind that no longer exists
and embrace the matchless peace as I fade deeper....
deeper...deeper...deeper....until all that is left of me IS me.
My essence, soul, ambitions, dreams, goals...and I am content.
So I watch as life rushes by to places they don't want to go...
searching for things they never wanted, and I shed tears of
pity for them because they don't take the time to learn to fade......

aaahhhhhh. Reading this poem is like turning on a light bulb that illuminates the previous one you submitted. I have a clearer understanding of where your "eye of the storm" is now, and even of why you need to be there.

I have been there many times myself, and it's pretty cool, cause you can deck it out however you please, and still it smells like home

Is this a submission to the contest? If not, keep it up



Psalm 139:13

For you created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mothers womb.
