There is a calming in the resignation of things
the admonition that you have reached the end of ends
that the horizon is met and found without wanting
that there is nothing more out there
That you have bled all that you have left
seen all there is possible to see
and felt all there is to know and touch you.
To wait for heaven or hell with indifference
I am like an angel who has lost its wings
aimless and unwanted,
and yet there was very little care to be had
I was content with the singularity of my existence.
But the heavens never forgot
and you came
a most unexpected gift
that would change everything I know
that would push past the walls I have built
That would forever alter the boundaries I see
and will challenge everything I believed I already knew
about myself and about the world.
It is all so different now
Everything is coming full circle
I will have no need of wings
Wherever we are is everything
Paradise should be.
