jade

I had a dream that I was in a nocturnal garden of trees and all their branches had lighted mason jars hanging from their limbs,
and so was I hanging from my own limbs.

nude in color 
and etched into my veins was the sense of returning again to peace
I cradled these jars of light like a newborn babe 
but it was I that was darkened 
it was I that was jade.

seeking for rays of light to pour within me 
I was only as lonely as the distance I felt from home 
the comfort in a dwelling is so compelling and I never really appreciated the ambiance of my own 
it should never take for someone to pick up the phone to see how I am doing
the answer will forever me desperate and alone

so this garden of trees....

that are alive and inanimate 
they shall motivate me to hike every hill of my uncertainty 
be free in maturing 
I presume the noon is just a sign that today is another day to get yourself in line 
I hidden in the negativity of my own reasoning
vexation and despondency 
prospect is cursory 
if I never jilted we would still be functioning on 
nothingness

yes I 
I incorporated the significance of a meager  of car dates into my existence 
because those are my kryptonite 
it about time I do it right 
I must do this for the sake of my mind 
I must live by the light //E.B.
