Let the Seed Decay

I dream in ways
my mouth cannot articulate
in ways my hands refuse to write
I am a prisoner inside
and there are bars
the world will never break
because they are made from fear
of death and losing all that
I have hid inside them
for so long.

let the seed decay
and never bloom
it will be better
understood that way.

  1. powerful close...i wonder though, is it? or is it just what we tell ourselves because we are afraid to lose the things we accumulated within our cells...

    1. Great insight, Brian. We put so much work into accumulation that it's hard to let to.

  2. It IS really hard to articulate some of our dreams via writing or speaking. Some of them are simply beyond that medium.

    1. Definitely. Especially when we think in emotions and fears.
