Quick Thoughts

Life, set me free from my thoughts because
my mind is racing, and I am losing.

I can’t find the finish line, even worse, I can’t
go back to the start.

Days are starting to blur.

The tree grew and we all knew who he would be.
We knew the fruit it would bare.
We Knew it all.

But we didn’t know the faces of those who sought
its shade.
We didnt know the birds that would land on its branches
Or whose initials were carved in a heart.
