Neither this , nor that.
I couldn't have what I wanted deeply,
snow to last in the arctic.
Nor what I wanted for a passing fling,
like it rains for a while in the summer.

I don't need either.
That's the only thing .

I stand in the rain wanting to be drenched,
and yet , even the place my shadow falls,
is dry.

This moth has neither source ,
of light , that's real .
So, it goes out in the rain , wings heavy.
Near death.

To look for a cocoon hung somewhere.
Left behind by a butterfly.
So it could sleep in there,
for a while.

When , it leaves.
I hope it turns to a firefly.
So it's able to gly deep into the darkness,
of caves.
Somewhere it can find a troubled beast,
get it out if there ,
find it in its light.
See it clear as day.

Read it , believe it , clean it's sadness away.
Powder magic dust of sincerity on it ,
& finally at last .
Find the real one.
Its the one ,
& only.
Be the one for it.

In my case it's just not the case.

It's good to know that one's already what one needs to be.
So , there's no need of such things.
