Confirmations

Some set off to find themselves; 
some say wherever you go, there you are. 
Some never choose paths to explore
but remain stagnant, wishing upon stars. 

(But stars are evermoving,
taking those wishes with them,
beckoning the dreamer to follow
the paths constellationly charted.)

I set off with no objective,
but upon returning, the self-reflection
(thoughts actually in the clouds!)
made me realize about myself
that I am exactly who I thought I’ve already
found.

It’s the lightest I’ve ever felt
upon returning, for now, to the ground. 

Printless Sand

What would prompt me

if not a photo?

Where would I go

if I had but one tomorrow?

 

Of the flames lit inside of me,

which is the one

that fuels naturally?

 

If the slate were blank

and the mind cleaned,

what colors would rise

to the surface to bleed?

 

If the water were so still

no ripple dared move,

would my inner reflection

be revealed in truth?

 

If you were here beside me

and fear never conceived,

would our souls

breathe into each other

sighs of relief?
