Musings of a Different Day

The world around me lives, when I am silent
The things around me breathe, when I am still
Motionless I lay, watching the shadows play without me
I can only be.
Summed up in its entirety
is my life before me.
It would be a lie to run away.

I used to think that truth was beautiful. To see something or read something that is true was to see beauty in it.

I don't think that anymore.

I don't know what I think.

The truth is often painful and not beautiful or gratifying at all. Truth reaches and touches something of my soul that is sacred, yet not accepted.
