These
Thoughts
In my mind.
Chaos

beauty
images of past seen
They come



and go
Planning too far ahead.
Standing.Here.screaming!
Screaming on a mountain top.
Highest peak. Looking out,
f a r , f a r , f a r out.
Less than a tranquil mind.
Suddenly I have
A rush of
Empty space and quiet thoughts.
Lasted all too short in my moment.
Looking into a still pond.
I still remember hitting the still water watching it shatter.
Screaming planning out perfection and stress.
I close my eyes, and think back
To those summer weeks
Different countries, new language.
Language barriers give me silence.
Thousands of miles a
w
a
y.
On the highest mountain peak.
Hot sun beating down on my face
Solitude,
Has never felt so close.
So close in my mind.
So far a w a y in my eyes.
So ill close my eyes after hitting the water screaming.
I find myself on that mountain top.
No noise. No human interaction. No expectations.
Then I open my eyes
And I find myself still hitting the still waters
Watching the water
