I went looking for a story
Amongst the oceans
Sands and dirt
Instead I found
A world so overwhelming
I barely see it still as Earth

The State of Things
Stone keeps sitting silent
Sun shines hard and clear
Earth moves as matters make it
Sometimes slow, then violent
Sometimes there, then here

I Was Here For a Time
I was here for a time
The worlds rages repeated
On this earth for a time
All our dark themes repeated
In quiet moments of grace
These hard truths receded
I was left with that
Which glows in my mind
The passions I have felt
The ties that bind
The love that turns the third eye
To seeing from blind
The war and stuggle can rage around me
The tolls and losses can mount
I will hold the suffering I see
Equally with joys my mind can count
