Only Drive When Necessary

Goddess of the Mist

I want to get it back
to a time when things weren't so heavy
and not so complicated
when I was learning to be alone

You can be disappointed in yourself
still expecting better of others
You can sacrifice for those all around you
but people are not to be relied on

It all gets very dark
the heaviness weighs on the soul
then, the most handsome little bird 
and his song is strong and beautiful

"Don't let them ruin your time anymore.
There is not enough of it to spare!"

I can feel it lifting now
into the clear, blue sky
My desires so simple now, as always
After all, I only want to drive when necessary

There will be walking paths for anywhere I want to go
I will enjoy my books
I will live near the beach and the woods
and I will have fun

  • sorenbarrett

    In this existential mist of change and development there are some discoveries to be made as they become clear through the mist. Nicely written
