seek peace, practice liberality, pursue wisdom

for time, for dreams, for faith, for existence

passions, emotions, they take hold, they grab hold.
and i am like one who is held back by the ocean
from pursuing innumerable wonders
that would fill my head with adventures
and my heart with love.

o what a world that we live in!
so beautiful, yet filled with many significant inconveniences.
restlessness paired with impassioned hearts,
and limbs aching for action,
yet constrained by time and space.

progressive anxiety burrows into the muscles that crowd my neck,
and my joints pop as often as i step.

tonight, i am extra everything.
wishful squared and restless.
seeking, longing, praying for differences.

my faith is standing on a thin white line,
barely moving, yet daring to leap.

a little speck, a tiny spark, is all it needs,
to catapult into the great unknown which is our future.
my future.

the one i am waiting for, but not presuming to know.

and when it does arrive, the question is
will i recognize its presence, or
will it blend in like smell,
and simply be another part of me?
