Longing for belonging

Longing for belonging
Right past the trees
That surround my heart

Listening to the voices
Laughing near by
Ancient streams of
Sorrow
Pulsate in
And out of my vision
Of sight

And I am slowly
Overtaken by the
Beauty of the ease
At which nature
Fills every space and nook
Even my broken soul

Shredding me foolishly
Once more dragging
My tender meat across
The damp forest floor

At an ancle
I can’t quite comprehend

At some point
The loneliness stumbles

I cry but not
For help

I scream but
But not out of fear

I endure but
Only out of spite

Waiting for the
coming of dusk
tweaks scratch
my surface

reality becomes nothing
More than a sound
a bubble ready
to pop
at the slightest touch

Like my thick inked
Skin covered in the
Riddles
I so desperately
Wish someone
Would want to uncover

Uproot me finally
Chop me up
And forcefully
Carry me home

The meaning of it all
Gloriously revealed

In the flames of her fire
