Purpose is overrated Intention put on a pedestal So what If you don’t know The spirit’s name. The one who commands You to fly as if the stars are kin. Wish like the air you survive on is magic.
Do not pretend like you must be great. Greatness is a point A fleeing warmth.
You are a vessel Limitless tenderness A basin stretching to the horizon Cupped hands cradling love’s face A sturdy tote bearing all the necessities For the practice of living.
Give yourself away Welcome strangeness to your inner chamber. You do not need a reason to be free.

Commands you Wish like the air you survive on is magic. Do not pretend like you need to be great. Greatness is a point a fleeing warmth. You are a limitless vessel(?) A basin that stretches to the horizon or Cupped hands that cradle love’s face.
Give yourself away to the world’s wonder Let her into your inner chamber. You do not need a reason to be free.
- to love?
- to believe?
