Whispers

0-0-0-0

Great sky.

I embrace you in spirit.

My soul's thoughts are blossoming.

Uniting the last pieces of me.

0-0-0-0

The weight was heavier than even the stones.

Of the river that dried up, but was not forgotten.

I did not believe that the pieces would ever unite.

0-0-0-0

I was not lost.

Always deceived.

By various lovers of doubt.

Who remain shadows, since I am a flower.

0-0-0-0

Now the last leaf of autumn falters.

It melts too beneath the touch of the sun.

Just like my ego.

Because everything is, and the one is everything.

I am a forever lord of darkness.

You cannot reach me.

And I am always becoming.

    This is hauntingly beautiful, Manuel. As a geologist, the line about the stones of the dried-up river being lighter than the emotional weight really struck a chord with me. There is such a powerful sense of resilience in 'I am always becoming.' It feels like a beautiful companion to the idea of not abandoning oneself. Thank you for sharing these whispers.

    So many wonderful contradictions here. I just love the way you word things. My favorite lines are I am a forever lord of darkness. You cannot reach me. And I am always becoming.
