stateless, dateless...weightless in waiting. when life is put on hold it takes the bold to say yes, the old to say no...but the timeless still find the flow to grow. phases tame me numb to the gun of despair. i smile at it in derision knowing that all things must pass into process. in this 10x10 nothing can hurt me but nothing can touch me either lest i allow it. i hold on to hope by a thread i tirelessly keep re-building into an unbreakable line. slow are the days, the months and the years the clock is watched so i ignore it altogether. i hear the tik and the tock like an annoying buzz in my ear i swat at daily. where others see years...i see the seconds, minutes and hours the moments in the now afford.
sunsets and sunrises are a privilege. a kiss, a word of love, an embrace across the skies...all seasonings to me. intermissions between battles. i see it and feel it all but it's hard to take in completely. never knowing for sure when i'll be apt to sit at the table prepared for me. mindful as i try to keep up maintenance for those on my shoulders. no tears, no pain without complaint...only the press for other's progress and the internal gains these provide me. brutal will to the finish line drives me to the next level of evolution. replete with new challenges. where coping mechanisms have all been exhausted by experience and where what matters most is all that's left to expend energy on. stoic on my quest for this incarnation of "me" to bleed out into the next. where promises delayed are still promises set to keep. where all is sweeter in clarity in a world gone mad. where passion delves deeper into hearts that still beat and beauty has made its' home in the irises of my soul. in my Lord...nothing can stop me...nothing will deter me. this i declare...this, i know. as the world turns...i stand. He has made me a king...i can do anything...
watch me bleed...
