Why I am here...

Answering this riddle,

is not that simple.

But, let me just say,

why I am here today.

I am here—

amongst other souls,

to ponder and wander,

to remind myself that

I am not alone, any longer.

I am here—

to immense in my own rainfall tears—

to unload the heavy weights

off my shoulders,

and fly into the sky,

without any fears.

I am here—

to pour words into my ears,

to silence the lonely voices

pounding inside my skull—

to burn my soul with fire,

to splatter the canvases with hues,

wherever my brush strokes may fall.

I am here—

having no expectations.

yet, to maze in the wilderness

and vast open oceans

of brilliant imaginations.

That and more...

that’s why I am here,

to breathe the fresh air

freely, but never in fear.
