Feed Off Me

Though the world may be sitting still

You may feel like you've had your fill

With it's constant shrinking will

And it's nervous hollow chill

I want you to see

That you can feed off me

When you still do what you must

But everything still fades to dust

While you run out of all your trust

As well as all your earthly lust

I want you to see

That you can feed off me

Yes I know what it's like

To be caught in a fire

I've been cooked in the flames

Like a bird on a wire

And I don't care to move up higher

But now I know.....

Which way I should go

So even though you may admit defeat

Because this damn life doesn't seem too discreet

When you're just too cold to slip in the heat

And your broken heart still skips every beat

I hope you see

That you can feed off me.

Warm words for those experiencing the chill of our world. And it can be very cold at times. Quietly reassuring Brandon and your words also show a generosity of spirit.

I appreciate your kind words Chris :)

There’s a gentle steadiness in this, Brandon. The way you offer your fire back as warmth feels tender and true.

Thank you. It touches me to see 2 people respond to this warmly. This has stayed in my notebook since I was 28 years old. Glad to see it give some light to people.

You need to crack open that notebook for some more gems, my friend...

You have an analytical mindset. Very observant writer.

Highly focused and complex choice of words.

A delight to read. A strengthening piece.
