Modern Romanticism

Weakening evidence
often supports
your lack of a true
excuse
to be there.

Don’t apologize
for what has
ended already.

Don’t survive
on scraps,
for you are more
than what will end up
at the bottom.

You’ve built this lie
without realizing
the meaning
behind your heartbeat.

You’ve burned your bridge
without knowing
that it was heading
beyond Heaven.

Step back
to see this disguise
you have let
be the backwards approach
to a golden life.

Run forth,
sinking footsteps
into the heaviest snow
to let others see
you engaged the flow.
