Certainty

by eyes + words

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Crumbling fixtures.

Flowers chasing age, embracing

quality of length rather than its quantity.

‘Where did it all go?’ Everywhere you swore

we’d be. Followed whispers of certainty.

Gave my eyes so you could lead.

    Your words touch me every time – sometimes I could just type “like” as I am speechless – thank you

    Jacob, I really like this one. The part that resonates the most with me is, “Flowers chasing age.” I like the idea of exploring the concept of certainty.
