Death upon the shoulders
Like a weight, I sink from yearnings and unmet desires. My fantasies are both gateways and a calling for something more that I might give. The motivations of my heart, the one spice of my soul are the gradual steps of reaching you. Encircling you with the primordial tenants of sound body and sound mind.
To be an echo from the distance meeting with your own and piercing the shell of unconscious apathy, and begin the alchemical process of awakening abstraction. The inner being lured to the outer by a siren's call. Not to danger, but to life and love. To living.
There is no greater path, no grander vision than the pursuit of one's self, for through it we can witness a sun, be it burning or black, emanating, radiating what we are, beyond what others and circumstance have come to make us believe we are.
We were here. We are here. Written in stories, portrayed in film, expressed through our art. Life demands love, and it demands the self. Look within, and perhaps in chance...you will see more without.
Even an abyss has its purpose for a time.

Bless you, dear. I admit that I was not okay, and so I have spent the last three days exploring myself and looking deeper within. I'm more in an introspective and examining mood than a suffering one now. Through this poetry I am able to bring some of these deeper, unconscious feelings forward to better light.
Shane, I take it you suffer from depression. I have moments too where the mind and it's darkness wants to overtake me, give in to not doing anything, to death. Then there are things that remind me that it won't have me today, tomorrow, or next week. As I have things I want to create, to share my love with. I do hope you have gotten well mentally, man. The world and our kind can really make existing feel like a fruitless endeavour at times.
