No matter how many times i read and finish a book i'll never get used to the feeling of that suffocating hollowness that brews inside me.
That seeping realisation that
that's all it was
a book.
“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” – Albert Einstein
Still Life with Books, Jan Davidsz. de Heem, 1625 - 1630 (detail)
- Sylvia Plath, from 'Ariel'
with my papers not proofread and my manuscripts unfinished, i thread on through the world
Eyes of flowing honey,
eyes of swirling ocean.
Is there really so much of a difference?
Both marred with scars,
painfully etched in over the years by family and friends and society itself.
A father filled with rage,
a mother who never wanted her.
One desperate to fit in with American society and one forever distancing herself from it.
One knowing nothing about himself and the other knowing everything about the both of them.
Yet, when their eyes meet all the scars seem to smooth over,
the raging sea calms,
the honey travels far from the fearsome bees of its past.
And, when they are inevitably torn apart?
Is life not just a scramble to get things done before a deadline that you don’t even know the time of?
