Par Avion: Moments

I cut myself off from a world of friends and hope some days. 

That I should believe in the notion of forever and in the unity 

of years spent pondering upon the fragility of connectedness. 

I raise my cup to an emptiness I feel within: this is surety 

in the face of seeming calamity and the pirouette 

of memories contained. 

We are who you believe in within this arc of time's expanse 

upon our withering flesh. This is the final act when certainty 

is wholly uncertain, yet facing the reality of giving oneself 

to the elements, naked and free yet dreaming 

of flight and forgiveness. 

Let me live my life where I am unbroken, unchained and like 

so many of those birds outside my window, their days spent 

whistling at the sun and at the flight of others pecking 

their way, beyond noon's light and tomorrow's moon 

lit up with the anger of believing in oneself. 

Break me. Dance with me. Tell me I am a speck of dust, 

in a birdbath of my construct and these desires of fortune 

and unfulfilled promises of eternal life. 

Yet, like all those birds, I am free some days too. 

I am full circle and a broken square, waiting for deliverance 

which may never come but will always hold onto.

Author's Note

This is rather dark, I know. I have my moments.

Wrote this in under 2 minutes, didn't really think tbh.

Sometimes emotions fly to the sky, liberty and certainty at the forefront of everything you are and more. Yes, this has a darkness but somehow as you travel through your thoughts there is a lightening of the load and by the end of those two minutes you have reached a goal. Makes me wonder what you could feel and achieve in ten minutes!

Fine and exciting, deep, yet - wholly alive!
