A red ochre sun rising atop the tree of humanity—universal love. A harmonized awareness made out of chaos’s clay reimagined.

I am a forced smile, a relaxed frown. A struggle for normalcy, a cradled abjure. I crinkle, crack, and crow, upon a crushed flower meadow—sensation. I am bungled and borrowed, a dawned dissonance in a tree with a split hollow.

I find truth awake. Sensual and sensitive, a nascent nature attuned to self. If you listen, trees tell tales of tragedy and truth. Despaired broken branches, and silent supple saplings. A barren landscape, rich in storytelling. I am earth—a flower’s death and a tree’s raised bole.

Love is a flower, opening to the sky. It is the peak of hope and despair. I embrace comfort, in moments of peace and pessimism. It is a quality of life like rich turned soil, waiting and wanting. A burden of hope and blessing of hopelessness. Occurring in love, a flower I have become.

Love is being. It is the smallest particle and the entire universe. A backdrop, the illusion we call life. I am love and you are too. We are all worthy of love, are all enough. You are perfect, powerful, and presence manifest. A miracle.

Sadness is power. It is expressed through pain and promise.

I desire despondency, its weight digs deep into my soul—

fissured, yet unbroken. 

I seek solace in love. 

The presence of sadness undone.

Love is simple. It’s a supple branch, awaiting a flexible grasp. I reach with my fingers extended, lost in a milieu of negative expressions. Love is surrender and simplicity, expressed through serendipity. Intent upon my own destruction, I await love’s reconstruction.

Addiction surfaces from sound. It is a memory, constricted and constructed—innocence. I am a puppet, purpose crushed under desires’ weight. Feelings bridge buoyant betrayal, conditioning of composure and complicity—addiction, presence in perpetuity.
