Scatter

wrote this poem a long while back and it never made it out of drafts.. will see what readers think of it..

Scatter me to the wind

I am tired of the foolishness of men

And I suffer seeing

My own blindness

In asking of the world

Things impossible to behold

Frustration tempts me

To harden

The centre of the universe cannot hold

As long as you are weak and falling

How I wish to heal your pain

But all I can do is claim

This understanding quietly to myself

Am I doomed to cry

The tears you cannot shed?

For then my heart feels lost in space

As nothingness rushes in

With a breath of solar wind

As this silent whisper of grief

Vacates the place

Tenderness once lived

So please

Scatter my ashes to

The wind

For my heart is so very tired

Of the foolish ways of men
