with all my heart i want to believe that it is nothing... i want to believe that in twenty years we will be all we hope to be: our hair still caught in the wind, our parting kisses still filled with familiar longing, our love still the cosy place we come home to. i want to believe that waiting doesn't change anything, and if it does; i want to believe that one day we will come full circle and find each other again. is this all it comes down to - desire and hope?
but if this is all it comes down to, then let me have enough desire and hope.
this haze, this conscious dream, has gotten tiring. today i do not know who i am, where i've been and where i'm going: my dreams have gone from liberating to suffocating. give me time.. time to get used to your possibilities, your ways around the system, my fighting for what i shouldn't even have to fight for. too many things we don't know yet, not currently, not soon, not ever.
tell me..... what exactly? do i do you do we really want to know that the only thing that stands between despair and hope; knowledge and unknowledge; the good and the ungood; the dead and the undead; is a .. tree? a tree whose trunk isn't meant for the heroic holding up the weight of the world; but whose old, old trunk is nothing but sheared bone, brutally sandpapered by the wind and rain. a tree without hopeful fingers that instinctively creep upward to its creator; but are instead old, sick and arthritic.
many, many things have been lost. even my writing no longer resembles the wind; all i know now is crude, vulgar technical writing, on trade options and diversity, on forward foreign exchange rates, on china's elite policy, on the future of india. if i disappear will you remember what i once was; will you tell me time is nothing? or will you tell me the difference between the real and unreal is not a tree, but very simply, sanity?
