"write it down"

I have heard it is a river
And I a tertiary

I have heard it as a bonfire
And I kindling

What is this that I drown under
Replacing air with water

This that I burst into
Replacing flesh with fire

It gives way to life,
And death

It gives way to sight;
I am found

Metamorphosis - 11.16.18


15 years and a day
Began a journey
Of wonder, surprise, joy, pain.
What of us is gone.
What is the same.

Back and forth.
Never knowing.
Never seeing.
Only questions.
Only wondering.
And so silence.

What of us is gone.
What is the same.
What has changed.

Dawn is coming.
Hiraeth remains.
New sight.
Found again.
Journeying to
The true self.
