When I Disappear

I disappear,
Worry not I have not, 
forgotten you here,
I'm still flitting in your presence, 
Missing deadlines and drama,
Shortcuts to connect with the Dali Lama,
And wondering when I'll have a moments breath,
To put my paper to my pen.
I'm not lost, nor found again, 
But wandering through the woodland,
And growing with each tree,
I sap the energy from the sun,
And distribute it to the life in front of me.
And even that's a lie, as I haven't found the time,
To take a walk through my garden,
Or even plant a seed.
Stuck in the cold walls of a warehouse,
I work for what is to be,
We work until we die,
A slave to the industry.

I do not mean to obsess over this amazing write Jay, but I am so very deeply impressed with the pensive clarity and meditative quality that belongs to it. Its one of those poems you read and think for a moment that as the reader you actually wrote it. J.A.B.
