my mind still wanders to what I felt peace once was.
the season had just ended on an unexpected note,
a note that seemed too heavy to be considered a beautiful beginning,
but rather a lone journey into a jungle of unknowns.
i felt the greenery wrapping around my ankles
pulling on my wrist
tearing at my heart
urging me to go back to what I knew
i looked forward
i looked backward
despite the despair, i proceeded on into my own new world
i unpacked the baggage, i packed the peace
i floated into the clouds and dove into the sea
i seized a new frame of mind as i sank into the deep
i captured the sun, the flora, and the moon too
and as i surfaced, i sauntered into a new pair of shoes
the words are still on my tongue
the strings still tug in my heart
but my hands are stretched onward,
far into the future
my eyes are in a new book, a new word, a new concept
my lips spread nothing but love for the girl i found in the sea
my voice is stronger as i determine what i desire
my mind is in the sunshine that pours out on the open blue
for now, i find what fulfills me
all along, my other half was buried in the sea
and the eternal sunshine of my spotless mind was revealed with a wave of serenity.
