Discontent

It's in the discontented

murmur

just before sleep.

When heightened senses

lets you feel

the beat of your heart

pulsing through your veins

aware;

oxygen - bubbling, racing through blood

essentially piquing 

the interest of 

every nerve

every cell

every fibre

and every fagment 

of your being;

always alive, always aware

But never lets you feel your soul...

In the end

"The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God."

- Victor Hugo

Les Miserables

I haven't had enough desert yet

"Shall I run back into the desert... and stay there until the devil has passed out of me and I am fit to meet humankind again without driving it to despair at the first look?  I haven't had enough desert yet."

- Saul Bellow
