Some experiences I have accumulated in my life have left me, what’s that word again? …jaded. Below are some thoughts I had the morning of October 26th, 2020.

As are all my posts, this post is intended just for me, but if it is of help for anyone, that would of course make me happy.

Some changes, 25.11.2020:

Will you watch me as I unlearn

          the habits I picked up

     -those that washed me away-

with the pain that I endured?

.

For I sense a turn of my branches

–just as branches ought to turn–

          away from the dirty shadows

          where blurred lines reign and tripped the one who wanted to clear a path

          and I accepted my suffering, being reigned.

.

     It was not by what is right that I always did my best.

.

For I sense a turn of my branches away from where I found myself lost

         and where, lost, I found myself

towards this clean, nourishing light.

     For I sense a turn of my mind’s eye

          and the rest of what I am along with it.

This clarity, I hope, is my unbecoming,

     that for which I did not know I had been longing.
