Develop and Destroy


Scrape across bricks, I let my nails, feeling Scrape the corners of my mind, not healing Longing for something, unknown, out of reach Lingering, suspended, one mind, to breach Develop a thought and then let it go- Destroy nothing, yet; never let it go As rain falls, it seems to have just been born Though this, the same rain, on repeat, forlorn Inanimate, rain seems to be But moves, nevertheless, on you and on me. Develop a thought and then let it go- Destroy nothing, yet; never let it go Blink the wetness away, the rain will lose Feel the now groundwater flow past my shoes It will go for now, back up there But return it will, for this world, we all share Develop a thought and then let it go- Destroy nothing, yet; never let it go
