desert
pardon my thirst
for I am quite parched
I have been walking along
The endless space of tiny grains
And the sweat has been the only liquid
My walk has slowed, my patience has lessened
And I see a drop from you but it’s not close enough
So if I appear frustrated or too eager, it’s due to your unknowing tease
With the possibility of finally quenching my perennial thirst
Unconditioned Note
Ultimately I want you to be at peace
Peace is not perfect
So I would never expect you to be
Any imagined ideal in a childhood fantasy
Ultimately, I want you to be free
Free is not confined to fear
So I would never expect you to follow
Any insecure boundaries of tomorrow
Ultimately, I want you to be loved
Love is unconditional
So I would never expect you to embrace
Conditions based on what society creates
Ultimately, I want you to be
being is magnificent
so I would never expect you to be
anything else
