I got stuck tonight. Lost track of what's important.
I don't know where I stand; in relationships, with my job, with my life. My footing is loose, the sands are shifting beneath my feet. And I keep looking somewhere outside of myself to try to find an anchor. This has left me floating, wandering, tossed by the waves. I keep looking outside of myself for an answer, something to hold onto. But I come up empty handed every time.
The wind has been relentless today. It's picking up strength even now. When I walk around my neighborhood tomorrow leaves and branches will be strewn across the ground, much like the pieces of my life that I have been trying to fit together.
One strong gust of wind. One difficult weird day. And it all crashes to the ground.
It's better this way. More true to reality. So scatter me with the detritus of the outside world. Leave me there on the street. Don't sweep me aside and throw me away. Leave me here. Don't gather me up in your arms. Leave me here. I'll stretch out. Find my footing eventually. Until then, the moon will feed me her shine.
