Mindful of The Swan


I love your heartbeat, thriving through turmoil, in need of therapy. We die so often, to respond as snails, so foreign to our plight; but love is life, this need to heal, as opposed to suffering—this silent suffering, jarred in hopes, as opposed to seeking solutions. I’m lost to this love, at want to teach, this young adult. But why for turmoil, as to reckon defeat, where our world is nudging; to push for magic, this mystic space, at once a slow breath; to breathe with grace, as calming our souls, to exhaust a feeling; for more our journey begins, wrestling through tar, forever this trek through sludge. The marsh is silky—the canoe is riddled, while we paddle upstream. Our journeys transcend, as wisdom is precedent, whereto, knowledge is monumental; to float as feathers, as light as feathers—an unraveled scar—that jars our minds, this love of mothers, fevered through oncoming traffic. I imagine a soul, filled with gestures, but stressed through silence; to feel unheard, this stifled voice, where the matriarch rules; but life is love, this gentle patience, as worlds calash. It’s more this feeling, to know for presence, alive the moment of impact; where fathers smile, this teary feng shui, our colors harmonizing; as born to folly, with nary a glance, surfing through parental sludge; but lights are beaming, the reefs are grieving, a leprechaun is sprinkling magic. If truth be told, the pain is not us—where secrets were revealed; so more to pain, this only channel, where one feels an affect; moreover, to live it, to watch it daily, as if suffering is isolated; this torn effect, to witness opposites, as opposed to seeing intent; this broken justice, to encounter a sense of pride; but truth is life, the agony of vengeance, as to witness a captured growling; where oh this heart, a beating star, freckled with circumstance.
