a classic paradigm in la vida loca.
it provides time,
which creates a path for clarity.
the absence of a person/thing
allows opportunities for discovery.
at times the people escape,
leaving hollow craters carved out.
a void space where they once danced
and sang the lyrics of life, of love-
other things produce shallow tracks.
remnants are hardly noticed and the lack
of these things makes
no difference.
i am obliged to experience
this part of life
which is incredibly necessary
for growth and awareness.
Namaste.
