Dear me, stay still
Dear me,
stay still with the trees
the breeze and the world rotating each time that i breathe
i get these moments when i have to lie down because everything feels
sort of, all too much
i look up and see the blue
or grey
or the black
and i feel myself melting into it
and for like a split second i feel free
and happy
i am not happy
i lay myself on the grass and just stay still
eyes open or closed
breath in and breath out
i stop time to make time
i am overwhelmed by the beauty of life and people
i can make peace with myself and i can finally catch up
before i feel like the world trys to consume me
i can feel small
but when i lay on the grass, i am suddenly laying with the world
and i am no longer small
i am as one with this energy
and energy will never die
so in that sense i will never die
but in this moment i will stay still
breathe in
breathe out
sincerely, me
