(choose rest)

(choose rest)

i’ve been moving for so long that i’ve
drowned out the sound of my footsteps
is the forest for rest?
would the woods grant me peace?
oh, shun me from this steadfast path of leaves
leave me instead by a piece of the ocean
to stand in the sandy palm of the world where
the choice to keep moving will no longer
only drown out my footsteps
