i have been confused as of late
whether to go ahead or wait
for the sake of peace
i was showing up late
for me
can my oasis
lack water
making it just a desert
or am i staying afloat
just because i built a pool
and a fountain of youth
to be refreshingly me
isolated but cool

life takes a toll
on the mind
and body
but the day we
accept more
while doing less
and say yes
to ourselves
life shifts

i have been open and waiting
debating when and where
fearing i would never see it again
love touching me
and holding my hand
reach out and teach me
love again

chasing so many moments
i forget the length
as i arrive to the destination
i remember my strength within
jixi fox 🦊
here today
gone tomorrow
people are stretching their luck
but not stretching the buck
they are goofy
rubber necks
they animated like luffy
they are takers
non stop
they can’t get enough
veterans goofs
too newbie
jixi fox 🦊
sitting and waiting in the bleachers
you came along
became me teacher
my heart filled
all doubts have left
you are always are my right
and i am beside you on the left
jixi fox 🦊
as i lay
i pray
for you
each second
missing out
never by chance
or reality
just before dawn
jixi fox 🦊
i chased you
only to get scraps
i carried a wealth of love
what you had didn’t match
jixi fox 🦊
as i became ready
you stopped my heart
you held me tight
we cannot fall apart
