Open heartedness
A trickling stream
Obscured by fog
Difficult to view
Slowly opening
Into a river
Burning like
The will of love

Stores We Tell
A damsel in distress
A knight striving his best
A nautical tale
A huge white whale
Imagined realities
Fight life’s banalities

If I Knew What I Learned
If I knew
What I learned
Than I’d tell it
But you see
Having lived it
I don’t know it
If I don’t seem
Lost
I just don’t
Show it

The Weight of Madness
I inhale the weight of madness
I exhale the weight of light
I acknowledge my sadness
I acknowledge it is with myself I fight

You Can Carry It
You can carry it
That’s alright
Set it down
If you lose the fight
Use finesseInstead of might
But
Make no decision
Due to fright

Sibiling Rivalry/Last Piece of Pizza
She was awaken and wired
Silent hidden charged
Believing I conspired
In the room she barged
Me red handed!
Last of pizza I pawed

Words Like Thunder
Words resonated more
Before they were written down
Crashing like thunder
Confined to only sound
Now they are echoes
Lost and found

Digital Karma
Digital karma
Swirling in motion
To stay in the center
Requires eight paths
Vigilant effort
A heart ever open
Resilient skin
Nothing is past

Reason
I was wrong
I changed
Now I’m better
Didn’t know
Was taught
Now it’s true
These are things of wonder
That reason can do for you

The Peak of Life
I want to put my feet up
By the river
The sound
Of the flow
Around me
Summer
Coming to life
The peak of life awakening
Once again
