how this soul of mine,
is trying like hell
to become more familiar
with a foundation of steady peace.”

“There’s this unfamiliar storm,
in my mind…

And well,
this soul can’t quite seem to find clarity,
despite the absence of chaos,
and
the excess presence of the sun.”

“I know that soul of yours,
often dances;

with the familiarity
of being at war with it's chaos,
and a heart out of tune.”

is just tired...

From pushing a vintage heart-
that has loved,
unconditionally...
on empty.”

“It’s inevitable,
for a soul tie like ours...
to not be boundless,
in the way we refuse to love,
unless we can leap.”

“Despite the rust,
these flightless wings
have never been okay
with a subtle swing.

Because darling,
they have always been
boundless in refusing to play
unless they can leap.”

it’s the shakiness-
and not the possibility of falling
that has a way of keeping
a grounded soul
feeling lost.”
