Simple to My Existence
Nobody said it was easy.
As I sit & ponder of what I wish to be in my next life
I am suddenly overwhelmed by an epiphany
And covered with joy in that glorious moment of promising insight
I will be reborn as a speck of cotton dust
But not just any cotton dust, I want to be the kind of cotton
That grows on that beautiful Silk Cotton Tree
So that when the day comes for me to bloom
From that hard shell, boll and into that beautiful
Off white color, Soft and heavenly cotton
My friend the Wind will carry me
High into the abyss where no one can touch me
I will flow freely for hours with no worries
Drifting against the wind and the wind
Will be the only one to embrace me
You humans will only admire from below
You will envy my out of this world ability to fly
I will leave you in awe with the thought of how I managed to be so soft
You will burn in regret to have not thought of it first
To be reborn as just a tiny lint of cotton
That tiny speck you can only see when the rays of the sun
Shines down at that perfect angle
Yes! I will be that small! and when the wind finally gets tired
Of carrying me higher and higher, you will try to grab me
But nothing will come to satisfy you because the more you try
The more frustration will build
That space of nothingness from which you violently claw into
Will create a gust of wind That will carry me further away
I might crash and stick onto you and yes, you might breathe me in
And I just might get stuck inside you
But that will be my GLORIOUS MOMENT
Living as an un-noticeable Meaningless thing
My life will be short and therefor I will no longer suffer
That long agonizing pain that you humans put yourselves through
That I once, put myself through.

I love to laugh, listen, talk, pretend to know how to dance and spontaneously speak with an English accent. I hate T.V. commercials! I love art of many forms. Mother of three and three more. Being honest with myself has been a challenge.
