Chasing the Light - Blackout Poetry Notes

Exactly This

My only advice -
fix your mind upon
a most interesting life
and change to be
exactly this.

In a place of
unfamiliar country,
my hair tousled in invigorating air
and exhilaration.
I was happy, undoubtedly.

Be a soul
that
is wide open.

I hope you will live
an interesting life and I hope
you will write
exactly as you think -
with love.

I've noticed,
some things have to
grow wild in a storm,
erect and defiant.

Everyday life
was much more than
to just survive.

The world whispers
truth. Hear the buried treasures,
of tales in hushed voices
and allow the voices in the ether
to be heeded.

It's true, I want
something.
I want to exhaust this
one short life.

All that time
in a forest and I found nothing
but beautiful grace.

Good or bad, there's every
reason for hope
in this existence.
