holding patterns (up to the light)

 

"but if that presence coming makes you feel too tense

don't let the anger boil, keep keeping up your fence."

- foetus, "they are not so true"

 

uncertainties unbound upset

and obscure all potential.

 

it is unrealistic to expect anything

ever going as planned.

the infinite expanse of opportunity,

at once generous and merciless,

introduces interference inherent in

a chaotic vector-driven system.

 

i had massive constructs in place once

to defend a wounded spirit from change

which enabled me to heal sufficiently;

i paid for it with emotional isolation.

 

this is not some place

i wish to return to.

 

but now i'm wandering across

desolate pathways as i feel myself

reaching a nexus of possibilities

that will forever revise all i will become.

 

my reaction is to outrun the fear of

reality randomly reorienting the road.

 

impatience through frustrations

has often led to my downfall.

i need a place of comfort and warmth

where i can catch my breath.

my mind requires relief from racing

through the calculations of constantly

changing million-square matrices

in an effort to find my way home.
