I take my soul out on a walk

Louise Kim

I take my soul out on a walk. a moonlit road, a stray cat in passing, a world quiet and uncaring. the tragic beat of a fleeting world, a world of dew, where we live until we don’t. we expire and evaporate with ease. deep within our hearts our souls cry out for rest. every yellow lamp gazing back at me is a dewdrop in a world of struggle. I sit on a street bench and imagine a world where there is peace instead of pain. a sanctuary of overflowing joy. a place of no struggle.
