Poems of the WORLD and US --by Matthew Tallow--

Eternity

is part of us

keeping us alive

for

what feels

Our souls

feel

anxious

but our staying hopeful

adds to

the amount of

understanding

Soaring

for all time

makes death

Our

bare-faced

wanting

turns

the world

You keep

apart

from the world,

freed

of the need

to be

The unknown

we

have

inside us

decides

for

itself

no matter

what

The beauty

of

the vast ocean

isn't

too much

for us

to hold

The world

decays

and

grows back

before

we can see

what

All

the soul

needs

is

to see

the diamonds

of

the sun

glittering on

The ocean

wind

scours

our minds

of

unneeded

thoughts

to embrace

Feeling

loneliness

at

the ocean

comes from

abandoning

our

own

Our

souls

hide

from us

when

we

do not

embrace

our

Accepting

the hurts

of

living

prepares us

for

the moment

of

We need

silence

inside us

Now

we know

we were always

happy

even though

we thought

we

We don't need

to promise

each other,

our

steadfastness

We can be

open-minded

even

knowing

more

understanding

won't all
