you think your future

you think

your future

lies

in who

you are

friend,

there is

a greater gift

than that

the joy

of the note

is to be

the music

the joy

of the drop,

the fountain

all destiny

is in

the disappearance

now

you’re clutching

water

while the

river calls

you push at

the air

that’s begging you

to breathe

you are

a tide pool

screaming at the

ocean

“don’t come here”

a rainbow

thinking

what a clever

and colorful

fellow I am

no wonder you are afraid

of time

you’re prospecting

a meager

claim

while fending

off the night

the nighttime is alive

with your ancient wealth

surrender

to the night

and be

the gold
