I know what i want to be now
A god. And not like my Ego’s God.

But like the soft caress
of wind on a
sweltering day

or the calm a lake
returns to after
the stones are thrown

and the strength
of a mountain
even as it
slowly degrades

I want to be permanent
and impermanent
pregnant with my ends

-paige stewart
