From Where I Was

oh, I am so done with being overly emotional.
that thing that comes with human beings.
I will just be a being.

within 10 miles of me,
and within 10 years of me,
let all stories be untold,
let all words be unsaid.

such a clean, clear world,
in such a clean, clear view,
re-written by a clean, clear mind.

from here I am,
and from where I was,
I love.

when I hear emotional songs,
I kinda wonder.
bind not yourselves to that wheel of endless calculation,
that competitive mode of measuring gain and loss.
but you may spend 1000 years there thinking that is kinda fun.

that’s because you know not.

oh anyways,
within 10 miles of me,
and within 10 years of me,
let all stories be untold,
let all words be unsaid.

a command that is given with binding joy.
a call for self love from every timeframe.

dear world, dear self, and dear life…
from here I am,
and from where I was,
I love.
