I count the days, the hours
I count the weeks, the months
Until I can be me
Just me, again
I count the weeks, the months
Until I can be me
Just me, again
Strips my
Being
Away
Presence
Without
Ego
The line is just a moment in time
Created over time
And this moment
Is simply a snapshot
It’s what drew me
What pleased
My mind’s eye
Said, “There’s something there”
Click
Click
Click
Mineral
Patina
Like coffee
And tea stains
Give me canary
Violet, indigo, azure
Crimson, cardinal, coral
So too does Nature
Carve and weather
Heave and crumble
Building castles
Made of stone
