"Birds make great sky-circles
of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall, and falling,
they are given wings."

Some food for thought


I sit out on the dock in solitude,
the steady sway interrupted by the drum of the waves.

I stare out at the watery abyss,
an azure horizon interrupted by golden hues.

I speak out through the descending darkness,
a driving thought interrupted by my uncertainty.

am I running away from myself,
or running towards my Self?
