Description
this is what's left when you've run out of words,when you've spoken every thought on your mind,
when you've written down every idea in your head,
when you've scraped every last bit of imagination
from the deepest, darkest parts of yourself.
what's left when you've taken your arms and cast them
skyward, inspiration fleeting and dismissive.
what's left when your legs will carry you no farther,
and when you fall down, you skin your knees,
dirt clinging to the wounds.
what's left when you haven't eaten in days,
and your cheeks are still salty from your tears.
what's left when your lips are dry and cracked,
your mouth parched, and your very soul crying out
in thirst.
what's left when everything else is gone.
this is what's true, this is what's real, this is
the kind of thing that you can never see coming,
can never know until it happens, what you can
never feel until you do.
this is what is perfect, this is what is beautiful,
this is what is pure, and right, and constant.
this is what is eternal, precious, and forbearing,
this is what is for those who seek,
earnestly.
this is peace,this is patience, this is joy,
this is happiness, this is truth,
this is love, this is love.
