watching eyes that don\u2019t gauge <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the plumes ever with efficient beauty <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a caveat comes every morning <\/p>\n\n\n\n

picking the right color of sound prerequisite <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a dream state for dreamscapes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tears of a smile that never laugh <\/p>\n\n\n\n

whatever brings joy to my life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no choice what path i take… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

it\u2019s my perception <\/p>\n\n\n\n

while i travel that path!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so divergence is lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and my self soars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and when the fire goes out <\/p>\n\n\n\n

where do i seek warmth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it\u2019s only a matter of distance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all in all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nothing ever happens…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just because i cannot say hello <\/p>\n\n\n\n

never meant goodbye <\/p>\n\n\n\n

would be harder <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 i am comfortable <\/p>\n\n\n\n

with being uncomfortable <\/p>\n\n\n\n

until i am comfortable…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and even then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i am uncomfortable <\/p>\n\n\n\n

being comfortable! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

so i am not content <\/p>\n\n\n\n

this way i stay humble! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace and blessings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
