All My Lifetimes Led to This

I thought I had a purpose, a sky and I could reach. But maybe I was chasing the echo, Not the speech. I drew a line across the sky, dubbed it A plan, dubbed it a life. But every time I moved ahead, the moment bled Out, left me dead. The stars don't run, they just collapse, Folding in, no looking back. And all these dreams I tried to claim were Only mirrors dressed in flame. Every step a way to stall, pretending I could Shape it all. But silence doesn't need a wall, It just becomes the sound of all. No direction, no delay, just the stillness in the Sway. No becoming, no escape, just the light that Bends the shape. I'm not waiting, not at war, not a seeker Anymore. I'm the center, not the chase, Not the shadow of a I set my goals Like candle flames, watched them dance then fade Away. Thought control would give me grace, But it only made me stay out of place. I'm not here to get it right, I'm just Here to feel the light. Let it fold and let it fall until I Can't define at all. Dream so neatly drawn just kept the mystery Withdrawn. But now I'm sinking into now, No more why and no more how. No direction, no delay, just the stillness in the Sway. No becoming, no escape, just the light that Bends the shape. I'm not reaching, not ahead, just the beat beneath The breath. Not projecting, just unmade, In the silence where I stay. This geometry was never mine to own. Just a sound unfolding, not toward, Not from, but within. A softness with no name, no desire left to Tame. Just here, not as a plan, But as a pull. No direction, no delay, I dissolve in golden haze. No pretending, no design, just the rhythm past all Time. No arriving, no escape, just the light that Bends the shape. No more striving to become, just the sound that I've become.
