True Air
Drew D. West
Don’t lose yourself in the clank of the world. So busy with so-called progress and profits. Walk, instead, between snow-covered trees—breathe true air. You are something of a telos—not a means to one. I know, I know. The world is not ready for such a vision. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be. So, breathe—breathe true air.

Poets and storytellers are invited to submit their work. Selected pieces will be posted and featured throughout the year. See Submission Guidelines!

I love the depth and brevity of your poem Drew! Thank you for sharing your work with us!
I felt a sense of benediction steal over me as I read. My mom always told me, "You are a human being, not a human doing. Just be." Your poem gave me that same sense of taking a breath and finding my worth without needing to strive and add anything to it. Thank you, Drew.
