FOR NOW

I'd rather be
in the wilderness by myself,
But for now
I'm staying in the city
in the midst of the crowd.
....quiet moonlit nights.
I'd rather be
sitting on top of a rock,
basking in the sun,
but for now
I'm sitting on this cushy chair
away from UV rays.
...cold refreshing water from the lake.
I'd rather be
sleeping under a canopy of stars
but for now
I'm laying on this soft cloud-like bed
Inside a climate controlled environment.
...fresh clean mountain air.
I'd rather be...

sometimes

sometimes
the truth hurts,
sometimes
it feels like an open wound,
(that does not want to heal)
sometimes
it slows life down (stops?)
it takes time to process,
sometimes...
but life goes on... so must we...
it grows and flows
where we don't expect it to,
we have to move on...
although
I can't seem to...
for now...
I'm standing still
