Scattered pt.2 (Journey to Stillness)

'Don’t get stuck in your head'.

But then I can’t be with you the way I know I can be.

A free place, no token, no entry fee.

No drunken talks, no sudden distances, no withheld kisses.

No jokes (not now, my love)

Or maybe just not with me as the main character?

(No need to ask for permission.)

Or maybe just not with me as the main character.

'No' places, 'Yes' places.

No requests, no messages to get across.

Just smiles and silences to swim in.

No strange run-ins, no perfection to seek, no bags to pack, no calls to make,

no power games to endure, no decisions to postpone, no ideas to link,

no rules to remember, no stories to tell.

Just lie next to me

through my dreamless night.

My surrendering.

'What a waste of life,’ they’d say.

'What a beautiful life,' you'd say.
