Finding Eden

Standard

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.
