Moss

In my most lonely and passing moments of despair

                     I ask myself how much longer am I to be locked in 
   
                     this dismal world of nothingness.

                     In this orphan state of existence, I long to be more

                     than what I am.

                     With deep deliberation, I have concluded that my life

                     is that of a moss, spreading along the trunks of tall

                     mighty trees, and along the banks of cooling streams.

                     With no purpose in life than to hide from the sun, from

                     a labyrinthine of complexity that life has to offer.
