Directionless

POETRY

I'm not lost like a wanderer,

with a burnt map

I know the roads

Yet none of them calls

I wake up with a plan

Sticky notes crowding the wall

I'll be this...I'll become that...

By night they stare back,

untouched

Dreams return uninvited

some vanish mid-sentence

pulled forward,

and snapped back.

At the cross roads,

I walked into a path.

Rhythm settled in.

Motion followed.

Gravity Shifted,

Past regained its pull.

I stand again,

Like a scalar.

Dreams with magnitude.

Directionless
