trial by fire

i don't have the answers
for i am young and untried
afraid of failure
and the uncertain future

but i am full to bursting
of ideas and half-formed thoughts
unmade realities
that i twist around my tongue

and when i spill my mind's creations
my idle ideations
into a shared fountain
mixing my worlds with those
that belong to another

the water turns a myriad of colours
and together we might filter
the river stones from the gold

so perhaps /i/
don't have the answers
but maybe /we/ do
