Let’s talk about thunder
The sound that it makes
Earth’s palpable fear
When the storm wakes
All living things pause
As the sky quakes

Achievements Paths
Achievement through force of will
Cannot chase away
Restless ghosts
But
Achievement through curiosity
Can make peace with them

Stored then supplied
Information
On which we relied
Yet the unknown
Still survived
And blind risks
Multiplied

What Is Regretted
What is regretted
Should be grasped
And forgotten
Good life is abetted
By short memory
Of mistakes begotten
Rumination
Leads to
Rotten

June Summer Night Sounds
Singing birds &
A musical ice cream truck
Sound like they’re conversing
On a warm summer night
Discussing the events of the day

Those Corporeal Blooded Beasts
This is for those corporeal blooded beasts
Carrying their consciousness
Like a badge
A scar
A curse
A revelation
Blinded
Sensorially

Don’t Wear Your Damage As Blame
Don’t wear your damage
As blame
But as a life lived
Too close to the sun
Exhibit your pain like art
Let no two joys be the same

The Sum
Things I was right about
Few
Things I wrong about about
Some
How much in the end does it matter?
To that question I am numb

Everyone Thinks
Everyone thinks
The other side stinks
That they feel entitled
To that not earned
Like Nero
We fiddle
Don’t move to the middle
Whilst we burn

Be Human
Smile
Lose ground
Until
The end
Feel joy
It goes around
Without us
My friend
Be human
Do not fear
Feel love
Do not pretend
