To a dear friend

Complaints, I have none
Yet, what I see makes me ache.
A mind fragmented
distraught, conflicted and heavy.

Come away!
forget thy petty self for once..
watch the rain drop fall from the heavens
and splash into nothingness..
behold the little turtle's earnest effort
as he crawls into lands untrodden..

Mistake not the word with what is,
come away my friend, come away.
