no matter if my spirit
\nwanders with a desire
\nfor independence
\nto be free
\nlike the eagle
\nsoaring about
\nthe mountain top
\nbecoming the master
\nof the wind \u00a0 ~
\nin spite of my spirit
\nnot having this need
\na yearning
\nto be coddled
\nas if some baby
\nbirthed unexpectedly
\nfrom the comfort
\nof a mother\u2019s womb
\nsuddenly sensing
\nabandonment\u2018s
\nbare insecurity \u00a0 ~
\nregardless if my spirit
\nfills my body
\nto the brim
\nsort of like water
\nwithin the glass
\nwaiting to sustain
\na thirst from exploits
\nof which
\nthrough sheer will
\nhas hopefully given
\nmore to others
\nthan what was
\ntaken to quench
\npersonal cravings \u00a0 ~
\njust because<\/p>\n
just because my spirit
\nstirs in such
\na manner
\nnot so unlike
\nthe explorer
\nseeking to uncover
\nto discover
\nthe hidden
\nmysteries of Nature
\nnot for the fortune
\nor the fame
\nrather for
\nthe advancement
\nthe future
\nbetterment of all
\ndoesn’t mean
\nI have not a wanting
\nto be the giver
\nor the receiver of love \u00a0 ~
\njust because<\/p>\n
just because of my spirit
\nI have yet
\nto really know
\nto discover
\n\u201cthe love\u201d
\nthat one
\nlike the round hole
\nas the augmenter
\nfor the square peg
\nthat not only
\nreceives my love
\nbut a love
\nthat is interested in
\nthe loving of my spirit \u00a0 ~
\njust because<\/p>\n
peace out<\/p>\n
