Yours

I am yours
not as something kept or claimed,
not bound by hands or marked by name,
but as the stars belong to sky,
still burning bright, still passing by
never asking where to lie.

The way the moon belongs to tides,
never touching what it guides,
pulling oceans in their sleep
undeniable force that needn’t speak.

How morn belongs to birds that sing
in early light on fragile ...

I used to think time was something chasing me.
Lately, I’m learning it may simply be asking me to stay.

Every second,
a quiet record
of who I am learning to be.

It does not rush me.

It does not ask
for more than I can give.

It simply continues.

Steady.
Unconcerned
with whether I keep up.

Without permission ever being required. 

A quiet thief.

Like how silence sits heavy
how it seeps
how it teaches you to want quietly
even when broken.

People see me, they think I’m just watching the water
still life, small ripple...

Someday, I want to do more than just exist.
I want to live
without apologising for it
without begging for permission.
Perhaps some freedom from my own thoughts
and that constant mental battle of attrition. 
However, for now
I am just here.

I've been lost in waves of silence,
drowned beneath the weight of it all, 
I've stood toe to toe with the edge of cliffs
knowing just how far there...
