I am but a piece, created from a strip of bark

Crumpled by your hands, smoothed out again

Your thoughts, played over and over

My essence lacks emotion, and yet, I

Am able to feel the passion that flows

From your fingertips, through the pen, to me

A single sheet of paper, waiting, watching

As you bring me to life with every stroke

With every sigh, with every bit of your soul.

Who am I?

No air fills my lungs

I breathe in, taking all I can

Slowly, yet glutinous, never enough

To bring me back from the depths

Nor revive me, still

I struggle, gasp, in the non-existent

My eyes, blank, like the night sky

Clouded over, light diminished

Never to return, forgotten

Like a rag doll, I struggle

To find the time, that time

When the world was beautiful

And so was I

I could feel it slowly slipping

Like sand through my fingers

Sifting, into minute grains

Blowing, with the ocean breeze

I could feel the rhythmic sway

As the scent of the air lingers

And the shadows begin to wane

Washing over me, and I’m aware

How the night slipped into day

And the full moon rising,

Merely slipped away

They hover in the mist

Spirits of the ancients

Lingering, searching

For the answers, never

Finding what they seek

Never seeking, what they find

I am stifled by the stale air

The air you exhale in my presence

Puffs of nonsense that belittle

Sighs of disgust, yours, not mine

I try, but get knocked down

Pick myself up, only to fall again

Not at your feet, but at mine

Kneeling, praying, anything

To better understand the why

Or to not understand at all

I’ve been told so many times

And still, these days pass

And nights become terror

As I find myself lost in a dream

Or perhaps, more of a fog

Unable to see what lies ahead

Grateful to be unable to see

What I left behind
