sincere existence [poem]

an idea that springs half formed at the behest of the owner, but sits in their mind, unused

a seed that is flung far forwards but until given all the right circumstances, doesn't, cannot grow

a life that is is born and lived and died, a lifetime of possibilities, all equally plausible, all easily taken away

what's amazing about existence is how infinite it is, how vast and wide, deep and tall and enormous. stretching beyond the realms of what is physical, beyond the realms of what is not -- extremes that point to the very beginning and end of what was meant to be, of what isn't, of what could have become.

all the lines that are drawn, all the lines that aren't, they all exist in some capability just the thought, the possibility, they are so beautifully, wonderfully real

we are all so, so real
