..<<{{[[

Take care
and be undone

None shall unmake you
if you do not wish it so

The cherries are blooming
in winter on the other
side of the world
while we despair of our
own accord

This is not sadness
but merely a turn of
the wheel

Can you feel the season?
Can you see the foregone
conclusion

Every escapade must end
in disaster if only to
prove the point that the
meaningless is imbued with
the most severe of meanings

There is nothing but what
you make of it
and yet everything is of
its own intrinsic worth
and how can these two
incompatibilities be
reconciled in the mind?

But that is the wrong
question, for they need not
be unsundered there, as they
never were apart at all

Lay down in the fields
and dream]]}}>>..

i really like "none shall unmake you if you do not wish it so".

I've often thought we are often co-conspirators and collaborators in our own undoneness.
