objectification

as I immerse myself,

and sway steadily in rhythm to your breath,

your calming presence embraces me

and guides me towards conciousness.

the vividness of each ever evolving moment

fills my senses,

as I place my trust in our connection

to navigate me through the endless flux that is our coexistence.

our preposterous attempts

to objectify you,

solely to fuel a seemingly directionless progress,

makes me long to eject my now unwanted presence

from this selfish hierarchy.

instead I close my eyes,

and grab your soft hand,

losing myself in your abundance
