We come and go

sorenbarrett

What happens when breakers die
A part a watery grave, mist to the sky
We are liquid waves on a cosmic sea
Coming and going, returning back into what we always be
A candle evaporates as it's burning
Heat and smoke into carbon and gas turning
We are dust from a distant star
In a universe where there is no near or far

    Good write SB. Yes, dunno why KP complains of the sewage for dinner - she's only a pile of dust in the end anyway! (so do we all humanly).

    • sorenbarrett

      Dust ain't so bad mites feed off it every day and they don't complain. Thanks for the read Orchi it's most appreciated

          This feels like a quiet meditation on where we come from and where we return.
          Simple lines carrying a big, cosmic kind of truth.

            You and I both on the road there and you got it right Thomas. Thanks so much for the read and comment

            Soren, this carries a beautiful sense of calm acceptance… the movement of breakers rising and falling mirrors life perfectly. The idea that we return to what we always were gives the whole piece a quiet, cosmic peace. Lovely reflection. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                There are breakers in or life that save us and there are breakerless expanses that free us and where the wind blows takes us to them it seems! A fave, Soren 🙏🏻🕊️
