There

I can not go there --
not again. Those haunting
memories of "there"...
there are millions of strangers
posing as friends. For now,
it is a pause. You, dear heart,
listen intently to every word.
Remember that everything is not
about you, that is the point.
Remember that this is an exercise
in free speech, an exercise of
letting go of haunting taunting
memories i alone created by going
and participating with the mind
games of "there"... yes, there
that i should not look because
you are not there, or anywhere.
Perhaps a glance of you, as a
brief shadow, perhaps a moment
of your time, but not you in
full form and time -- nothing
relevant or real. I am not
looking for you, dear missed
connection, because you are
"there" -- where words lie.
Although often, it is a delight
to consume myself with other
peoples lives, although anonymous,
to find some meaning to my
own historical goodbye. Yes,
peace is necessary now in the
height of much emotion on
every side of life. It is not
confusion, it is change... We
must always change for a
peaceful solution so that
everyone may benefit, so that
we may all grow wiser, and
rather than disect each other,
see each other as one whole
unit of life. Of hatred and love,
I can only hope that the latter
will survive, putting the old
hatred to sleep and never awake.
Trust me love, this is the right
way, the real way, the only way,
and delight that we shall all,
all colors and lights of life,
be progressive and pro-active
towards one set of mind: free
and peaceful minds. Yes, we need
patience, love, a lot of patience,
perhaps hundreds or more years,
but it is worth saving the earth
from its own demise.
