Path
The night is quiet and the fires are silent,
A wind blows away the itinerant storm.
Directionless once, but now I can orient
My mind against what’s waning, absent;
I can give each feeling the subtlest form.
The night is quiet and the fires are silent,
My feet are slow, but the earth is patient,
I follow the heart like a compass worm.
Directionless once, but now I can orient
Out from my thought's divided quotient,
The depleted house, the blossoming home.
The night is quiet, and the fires are silent,
And I know all earthly life is transient,
But wherever I tread, I’ll never do harm.
Directionless once, but now I can orient
My steps towards what’s latent, salient -
Though night is still, and the stars undrawn.
Directionless once, but now I can orient
A path towards an earthless gradient.

The Early Morning Visits.
You come up in my dreams
Every now and again,
And you're different to how I remember you.
In fact,
It isn't you.
Why is this other person visiting me?
They're everything I want you to be
And at the same time,
They're everything else.
The dreams are comforting
In an uncomforting way,
And I expect you will keep coming up in them,
Every now and again.
I'm not sure what I want to say.
I wish I could ask you.

She felt...
Out of sorts
In an unspecifically specific way.

It was very early...
To be walking around
On a Monday morning
Looking for a reason.
