Poem: Cactus

“The most important part of falling in love is not to explain why, but to sing the praises of one’s beloved.”
Life is burning bright,
A moment at a time.
Leaving behind, only
Dark ashes and a shining.
So, quit whining!
I am unravelling myself
In Between events
Intercepting time and space
Unaware of my own
I am revealing myself
To myself in a mirror
And I find the reflection
Mystical in myriad ways
I am unknown
While I am knowing
That understanding
Is layered in time
In between events
Of absolutely
No importance!
