Nothing can cease to change

I’m enjoying the day with a book
I don’t know how to read
I was crying late last night
With tears I couldn’t weep
The leaves I’ve seen falling
Have seasons which don’t repeat
I have become fond of things
Those are never meant to be
Placed closer to my bed
Are dreams that wait to climb
Up in my sleep
Somewhere closer still reside
A set of cold beliefs
Once more I have to practice
A gesture in my sleeves
Hands shouldn’t tremble tomorrow
When I shake them to greet

I have to learn to earn
My life’s more important than me
A subtle intuition of future
A perfect infection for free
They’re leaving behind clocks
They’re leaving without me
I still haven’t finished the song
Haven’t spoken what I want to speak
She places her hand on my shoulder
I hold on to a fragrance
Breathe
Nothing can cease to change
She says and she leaves

    if I said I can understand what you're saying, and that I totally understand your brain and heart at the moment you wrote this, what would you say.....I guess that's the most important thing - that you're understood......I guess most of us just wanna be understood.......:)

    like when my baby hooks his little feet up to check if there's any dirt between his toes......I don't freak out and say gross......and when he smells his little feet to see whether they stink.......I jus understand that my little fella wants to be clean for the grils.......he's already in love with Kirsten Dunst :D
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    I love the line "Breathe". It is an amazingly effective break in your rhythm (which is pleasingly erratic to begin with) and the rhythm break of that line is the perfect melding of form and function. The readers eye hangs on it's sound and meaning. It's proximity to the end of the poem is just right; bravo.
