Theme: Resignation and embracing the ache that comes in life.


And I find myself, giggling with childish fervour.

For every trickle of sweat that meets the earth,

For each blade of grass that finds itself in my wake,

Piece by piece, a gradual release of the ache.


Should reconciliation devour my beating heart,

Shallow sabulousities swallow my psyche,

A sardonic Sabbath of self-served heresy, 

I shall once more find the place of my second birth.


There, I shall frolick beneath the cleaved summer sky,

Drenched in my essence, I shall dance, and dance I will,

And I shall weep, not in agony will I cry,

But in resignation to the embrace of the grass,

And I'll find myself, giggling with childish fervour.
