The Seams

nibbling at the edge of a tattered rug
scrabbling about in dust and dirt

need more energy to keep going forward
searching for more to keep growing

insatiable hunger, horrible need
feeding and yearning, yearning

so many choices
too many

give away power
let them choose…

but it shines so bright!
piercing through the dark

does everyone have this?
can we make a choice about it?

it never gives up and never gives out
its shines and seems to grow more strongly

as i scrabble at the seams
and nibble at the edges
