Light Years and Inches Slide into One Another

Just standing here,

solitary, but not alone,

my face to the sun;

million year old photons

from minutes ago,

flash and burn 

as I stand here;

on this particular 

piece of earth,

soggy swamp ground,

soft beneath my feet,

and I wonder 

just where is it 

that I have been,

where I am.

I feel like the strongest

I feel like the strongest part was

 

"million year old photons

from minutes ago,

flash and burn "

 

and that the rest of the oem doesn't live up to these lines :/

 

that beig said I also really see the feeling behind the poem and can totally relate!


Much Love

"...on this particular piece of earth." The specificity of place is so very fine.
