Late Night Thoughts Pt. 1

What if my purpose here is to give —
all of me,
to others, 
to the earth?
What if I’m here to give and not take?
What happens when I have no more to give?
When all of the energy I harness has been soaked into the world around me and I have no more to give. 
Who decides when I’ve given enough?
Can I ever? 
Taking doesn’t satisfy me so.
So when I’ve given all I have the will to, 
do I live on, fulfilled but empty?
Or do I give my life, my breath and my substance to the soil?
Will that even be enough? 
Will I ever be enough?
