this too shall pass

Beware, it's something.  Kind of lovely, kind of sad.  I keep digging my heels into these sharp edges, hoping to turn up something new, something good, something worthwhile.  So I push, but what comes of it?  I squeeze my eyes shut in fear of rejection, if I don't see it happen it never really does.  I think.  The monotony might be killing me, the ground opens up wider and I'm struck with how much nothing I am surrounded by.  Drowning in the shallow air, the words left unspoken, the solemn dead something or other between my lips and your mouth.  I guess it's safe to say I don't mind it all the time, that I'm okay right now.  I know things work out the way they weren't planned to, I never planned them to.  I simply said what it was that I needed to, and now that we've gotten past that I think it's time to grow up.  Blow away.  Scatter seeds.  And bury.
