Thirst

She glances at the glass of water. It's out of reach. If she stretches a little, she could touch it. She could even hold it. And if she did, she'd quench her thirst.
But she's tired. There's no fight left in her. None. Not even enough to reach for the glass of water she so needs.
And she thinks to herself, I might even drop it when I hold it. So, what's the point in trying. I've tried before. I've done it before. I know how it's done. But it's a decision. To exert the effort or to give up.

And in giving up lies the beauty of numbness.

A glimpse of home

A shadowed soul.
Hung over with desire.
Exasperated by longing.
Hungry for more.
Never satisfied.
Never relenting.

The dew settles and washes away nothing.
A mystery of sorts.
Hooded and hiding, yet shining like never before.

Ahead. Keep looking ahead.
Maybe you'll find a glimpse of home.

What do you see?

Look through the tainted glass.
Look through the tarnished surface.
Look through the ragged edges.

What do you see?
