The slow erosion begins,
not with a sudden crack,
but a constant drip,
the water wearing stone,
until the landscape changes.
Out of tolerable abuse,
a threshold crossed,
not with a bang, but a whisper,
a final sigh escaping
the tightly held chest.
The same measure of it,
they say, for every feeling,
a reservoir that empties
at different rates, who would question
What was deteriorating
depending on the container.
Retaining the need to discuss it for the self of you
But you didn't notice the
foundation beneath.
what's being weakend
knowingly not Those
too busy with the tolerance
level droppingwalls,
patching cracks Curing by
thy name but over time
Not realizing, not feeling the same,
that vibrant hue you wore,
the easy laughter that once sprang,
now muted, a faded photograph.
It has burnt out, yes,
like a flower weathered dry,
left too long beneath a sun
it never asked to face.
The green edges curled inward,
the petals brittle,
a silent surrender to the dust.
Away, away, the tending went,
the gentle care, the necessary maintenance,
not the endless dissecting,
the analyzing of the why and how,
the intricate mapping of the pain.
That mental cartography
you drew of the outer world,
the efforts spent understanding
the storm that raged around you.
The hurricane
mentality of the self, in script
the core being,
you haven't tended to,
The reassurance reminder of your mental
Stability
left fallow ground,
Still ,we here,
nurtured the garden
for everyone else's view.
Enduring the acceptance,
the steady nod to what was given,
the quiet agreement with the lesser portion.
Humanities mental mind state,
As a celebration in cahoots
thats sum how complex of thought,
but the quiet, aching heart space
,between thyselves
the simple need to be whole,
that withered first.
The capacity to feel deeply,
to register joy unreservedly,
that too, has dried to chaff,
blown away on the same wind
that stripped the flower bare.
And now, only the space remains,
hollowed out by what was borne,
a quiet, untended field,
where even memory struggles to bloom.
A silence where feeling used to roar.
Reminence bout us,
Was it in the just within it not anylized and practiced
Or naturaly just unpractical to not have a metal
Mind state you haven't tended to
It is what it is ,in so many words,
Just a little time,be thyself ,to know you
Gracias
