Back To The Basics
and
 it's like your eyes
 could see through
 the sun beyond
 the sky, beyond the
 edge of the edge
 the white space
 where everything
 is nothing
 purity simplicity
 my eyes are 
 there
 beyond this gray
 dull world
 each color its
 own shade tone
 existence
 and is it
 safe
 to say that some
 one
 pulled me out of
 the ashes i created
 when i burned
 to the ground so
 very long ago
 an effigy of mess
 here i lay 
 now
 the truth of what
 used to be 
 me
 scattered the little
 jagged halves
 and became
 a whole being again
 and i see beyond
 the sun
 and it'll take me
 everywhere
 i've never been
 and everywhere
 i should have stayed
 a smiling
 stone oh so resistant
 to the pounding
 waves
 i see past them
 i am the
 shorebreak
 the sand sweeping 
 away
 always to return as
 one creature
 this has made
 me stone
 living breathing
 but unbreakable
 staring at the sky
 right into the brilliant
 sun
 and seeing beyond
