haikus & freeform, pt 5

the body seeking
adventure, stimulus, pace
never-ending speed

slipping, ‘shut up soul!’
ambition, or discontent?
un-fillable voids…

how long since you stopped?
lock and key, both were discarded long ago
i am the only one who knows
always safe, your secret
is it a burden?

been reflecting…
and it’s not a burden, why?
it’s locked with me too

someone wise told me
or no, i should say someone
who’s suffered greatly

said this, solemn-faced:

if you can’t forgive,
you don’t understand enough
about their story

well, I understand.

broken winged bird flies
your trust, forever preserved
in me lies a cave

where all secrets stay
guarded by bears, packs of wolves
fiercely protecting

we shared molecules
you and your journey-keep going!
we are not ours
