nature's joint

 I want to live not knowing what day of the week I'm in,

not knowing what tomorrow looks like

and live into each breath

to let go of what I know and what was

and to submerge myself in the unknown.

To live intentionally and kiss uncertainty until it leaves me breathless,

 allowing stillness to slowly seduce the chaos I harbor inside

the rivers to undress the shame shackled to our vessels.

Grounded within nature's finest originals

they confess the truth of life,

while I bathe in the boundaries of beauty

listening to their sacred secrets, they confide in me,

passionately practicing patience 

I am a paradox living in the past, present, and future

in the unknown of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
