The Garden Grows

and how odd the flowers don’t question their colors

By Emily SerenaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

the art of surrender

swimming in my eyes

is vibrant.

seaside evenings my breath drowned

i imagined eating the sun as it burnt my

shoulders.

this whole illusion offered safety

every lie catches up eventually.

grieving over the false identity I built

to believe I was a self.

grieving myself.

not many grooves carved into my

mind

millions of canyons &

tunnels instead

and so it's not sad in seriousness

just catching myself forming reality

believing it was actual

wasnt simply a figment of my imagination

they tell enlightenment is bliss because it's death

death is too crazily easy… this is odd.

i skip upon the soil

surrounding, surrender now.

About the Creator

Emily Serena

truly, my dharma (life purpose) is to write. although death is an interesting means of a beggining to me rather than an end, I still choose to spend my moments as Emily, in this physical dimension, in a revolution of poetry & silent speech
