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?
