Leaning on Simple Truths

After going round and round,
I’ve at last concluded
it is better to simply be,
rather than to sit
in harsh judgment of everything.

I’m not certain of anything anymore.
But this hasn’t kept me
from leaning on simple truths
and reading into every unpredictability
a fear of the rising tide.

When I tell you I don’t know,
I mean it.
There’s nothing special about my words
which may allow me to live forever.
I often doubt my own poetry,
but quickly start to relax
when I feel its magic.
