My One Regret In All Of This Is Never Being With You.

my one regret in all of this is never being with you.

we awaken

we awaken pushed and pulled out from the womb

eyes tightly shut hands unsure breath held until the first cry

knowing nothing, being only what we are and what we feel.

we grow, sense, and learn we crave, want, and yearn.

drifting in our seas of hope and dreams hellos and goodbyes, our thanks and apologies, our conversations and eulogies.

we are born to die,  we die to be born again, we seek death to live,  and seek life despite death.

we awaken pushed and pulled through space and time yearning for what was never ours from the start, for what we cannot bring with us as we depart

eyes tightly shut heart unsure hands clenched breath held until the first glimpse

knowing nothing, then everything finally more, than what we are and how we feel.

“I am looking for friends. What does that mean — tame?”

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?" "Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world….”
