bits of the beggar


Detritus. 
What am I?  Not what or who I thought I was.  Not that person or being or thing floating, falling endless away from pulsing nature.  A cup brimming with life's essence.
It doesn't sustain me.
In my quest and questions I don't find truth.
I find what I can not be.  I find strength and love.  Be what I can't be.  But lately, I find this beggar looking ...for more.
It's okay to feel something there, inside.
I'm not a cross or star.  I'm not a smirk on a door.
I find what I am not and it makes me sigh.
Not glamorous, not well... not who I want to be.
So quests and questions yield what I do not want to find

I sit with myself and sip from the samovar.  I am unable to find the time to explain how awful it is to be low in spirit sometimes.  Here, I can have a conversation with myself.  Here, I can look back at what I once wrote.  Years ago, it seems now.  I have to admit that I was scratching at the surface.  The ideas for this blog are at least three years in the making.
