Birch

[der_cibble]

where am i going with my life?
why can't i sleep at night?
i spend too much
i'm at a standstill
dissatisfied with pop culture and music
but you, your voice reminds me of what drew me to sound
to prose and language
to new boundaries and adventure and wanderlust
you remind me of peace and slumber and the joy of life
how thankful i am to have discovered you
you nourish my soul
calm my frazzled nerves
where others only scrape, you dive deep
take a scalpel and cut out the mould
teach me how to love and to sleep again
teach me how to feel joy
thank you for existing

my darling birch
when i meet you
shall i bow
or flee
or faint?
