I Liked The Movie Magnolia

Magnolia II (poem)... Magnolia II

Never really known
     understanding lost to the unknown
        soul with time
A gentle breeze saying nothing more
     Is it knowledge or just chemicals?
Most likely the later
Wisdom finally delivered to the mind from the body...
I just wish it was my process of thinking that made it come about

The want to have that control
An entire life of control always on the tip of my fingers
Lost once again
Uglily unraveled to you with these words
But just maybe I did want that control anyway?
Maybe the creation of that wisdom was not wise
     for someone who really seeks simplicity?

Nothing to go back to
That which came before me
     Is already gone
So maybe I can just sit back
Stare at the stars
     The sun through the trees
And slow the rest down...

You want more
I have nothing more to give you
Maybe I could
     But I just don't want to
I'm done
I did my time for my parents folly
     And those aspects of my character not complete

Searching for artwork in the sun
Over and over again
Not stopping to notice the beauty of the gentle rain
To taste...while not sweet...or complete
It is all I have
And possibly...
Regardless of curvy or straight
The path I must choose to keep
