I’ve found everything

That has nothing

To do with me

Therefore,

I have found nothing

That has to do with anything

In a matrix of circumstance

Distraction, and planted hopes

A dream deferred until whenever

Dancing through a field, I

Am told to enjoy

What is enjoyable

Meanwhile, the temple

Is no longer

A place of mine

Under the weeping

Willow Tree

That undoubtedly knows me

Far better than I have managed to know myself

Thank you so much for reading. All feedback and comments are encouraged!
