Observe

Observe

A Poem by Sow Beet
"

I do not want to have to hang on.

"

Observe

I have disappeared, yet here I am.

I have vanquished the man, yet still he stands.

Beaten, kicked, burned, run over, and buried alive. 

Have we given up love only to fight.

Do we fight as stars fight for the structure of the universe giving us all we have and will ever need.

I will surly fight then.

Striking with silence instead lightning. 

I am an empty cup, my chest is full to the brim. 

Deciding to love is the only thing that we can ever win.

So I decide to give up. I am done, take it all, take me. 

I have nothing left. I am nothing, want nothing, posses nothing, free.

I can only see love, but cannot even hold it in my eyes. 

The moment moves so quick, so I simply breath. 

I can only watch love play and crash, never ever interfering. 

Reminding my soul to breath, watching love crash to its knees, I exhale, to be set free. 

I don’t capture the memory, only observe her as a leaf,

on a branch in the center of a shire, 

in between all of the trees, yet one leaf made a difference. 

Even while falling, I still let go, I look around in the last moment.

Just appreciating all that has ever been in a dream, that has managed to wake up

and become everything we see. I will fall forever, I let go, it is not up to me.
