The path somehow has become circular, and as I return to whence I came, nothing has changed.

As I made my way back home, I saw a woman, one who’s eyes betrayed her thoughts. As she peered out from behind the glass of her boxed chariot, her unspoken plea was heard by my soul. Her companion, he was happy, in control of what made him feel life. He was the master of her destiny, and she wanted love, yearned to be free. The look, it spoke volumes, but she was too proud. To admit an error and break free, it would be too painful. The path of least resistance, it was the one which made the pain bearable. She was alive, in the flesh, dead inside, afraid to break free. I knew how to grant her release, but only she could open the door. The epiphany was clear, I was free. Yes, I was learning, and as such, I could not contain love, rather I could join love, in it’s purest form. I could follow the model that showed in it’s purest form, love endures, and is the overwhelming force which drives us. The air has an odd fragrance, an odor synonomous with life, even in the primordial grounds, the furthest reaches from civilization, the substance which moves blood through the veins, it indeed speaks its own language.

The path somehow has become circular, and as I return to whence I came, nothing has changed. Nothing, that is, but the respite my restless spirit has  received in return for a desperate search to escape time, an abstract concept I did not create, nor fully comprehend. After faithful duration, all that is good will no longer be fading, fleeting, slipping away. The glass was stained, keeping out the heat, but letting in such a lovely iridescent light. There will be those lying in wait, through covert observation, holding the tongue loaded like a coiled spring, until the next inevitable failure which I, in my natural way, I will break down and release. But each trip to this place brings more peace, more light, less resltessness, fewer selfish voyages, more selfless journeys, until the day what I seek and chase ceases to be my search and flows fully from within. There was no me, no you, no he, no she, no they… just us…US…we were all one, this love, and my memory of an US radiated through the dark, love ruled the night, it was always US, because we are love. Amen.
