what you know

it is in silence
that you find yourself,
walking through the quiet
of woods, along an empty
shoreline. scaling
a peak that has
risen over
the eons
above everything.
it is here that you
let go
and begin again
to get free of what ails
you. you see the madness
in bending to
the will of this world
with its false
loves and desires.
all of this will
pass. you know this,
you always have.
