Vacate

I want to see mountains
and climb them if possible
if possible i want to see oceans
and swim to the bottom
in the bottom of my heart
crushed beneath my soul
there is light and dark
dueling for supremacy, consistency
for breath
for meaning
for five more minutes of
that great american novel
you can't put
down snow capped hills
through winter shifted valleys
stunned before waterfalls
frozen before a heatwave
i want to see towers that reach
reach for the sun as it sinks
sinks down into the horizon
of the far east
is this my fate, my destiny, my
prize for all the lies that i
despise and come in fives
one for each day i fade away
am i bound to be broken
fiery and smoking, like an old
photograph that makes you laugh
because you can't believe its you
you're looking at
but, its you
only you
and i don't smoke, so i must not break

trying to predict the future will only prevent you from reaching it.
once dissolved we are free to grow...
