Ashes and dust-

So it is-
It came out last night.
Insipid poison
That seared in a banal sort of way.
Awareness and knowing already present
Merely needing a confirmation
And the truth
From the mouths of those
That be

Numb since hearing
I broke
Woke from slumber
To evoke
Emotion
And blessed feeling
It came
In wave
Upon wave
And I asked
And I heard
And I felt it
Imprint upon my brain
All that I already knew

I shall take me apart
Atom by atom
As I come undone
Wafer thin
Feather light
Translucent
Open wide
The vast reserves
Of pain
And let it seep
Seep in
Merge
Entwine
Weave into my being
Take hold of me
And break me down
To nothing
Naught
And then
I shall go one step further
Add some more
Just for good measure
To ensure
No suffering is left undone

And thus
When the dust settles
As I come crumbling down
And nothing remains but the ash
Of the conflagration
I shall know
I can endure
Life

If I had heart enough
To love
I have heart enough
To hurt

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
In wisdom lie
Formless must
And thus when
The time is right
New found emerge
And float upon the wind...

"Feel the music sista,
Keep ya head high!"

"For what it's worth: it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
