Just As Is

a poem of existence ... you can substitute "man" for "woman." Afterall it is our lifeis our own making.

I am lost

I am nothing

here I stand

alone a woman

 

Just as is

body broken and tattered

wasted upon the winds of time

caught in my earthly reality

forced to survive in my secret cave

that I myself have dug

 

Just as is

A mind who knows not what

thoughts of life spent

caught in my own fantasy of life

forced to endure my thoughts

as a truth I created.

 

Just as is

heart that has known

love unending

love spent on never ending

wanting

craving

caused by my momentary insanities

 

a soul, a woman in search of peace.
