The final Intermission- Montauk

today i stand,
a woman in montauk.

whether he, she, you, they, meet me there is out of my hands
but i stay in montauk.

i stay hopeful, i stay innocent
i stay loving, i stay compassionate

i stay knowing i left that world gracefully
i stay knowing i have nothing on my hands

i pack strength, i pack life
i pack new chapters, i pack crayons

i pack no map, i pack zombie finger puppets
i pack respect, i pack punches

i leave you, i leave me
i leave regret, i leave peacefully

i come changed, i come jaded
but i still come open, and i come baring all
as if no lesson has been learned

i smile, i laugh, i'm excited
what is this so called "adventure?"

satisfied? far beyond and grateful
i am living. i am infinite.
i am finally free.

montauk, you've been waiting.
montauk, i am here.
montauk, what do you have for me?
montauk, you're more beautiful than i had ever imagined.

can we not be cynics?
can we say the universe took it's toll?
can we say the universe did what was right?

i can say that.
the universe wanted me here... in montauk.
not there... dying.
montauk, i have found myself.
montauk, give me destiny.

friend,
love yourself enough to find yourself,
collect the pieces and
"meet me in montauk"
you'll love it here...
... you'll love me here.
