Quitting by Lauren Kahle


I stood, knowing
What I had to do
To fix this mess
The sun inflated
Me with inspiration
This wasn’t the life
I intended to lead
The ground around me
Sparkled and I
Began to run
I wasn’t sure
Where I was going
Just out of there
I knew that I
Couldn’t return to
The life of a
Sellout, the birds
Seemed to whisper
In agreement
The universe
Was on my side
At last everything
Seemed connected
A harmonious song
That was all life
The energy
Rose throughout the
Oregon air,
I could see it rise
As a chapter of
My life ended,
And another began
