Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!

Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?

Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
My Grandfather’s last dream In a deep sea of white, heavy thun… Until a peaceful respite blinks What will it bring? Will the rain… With their piercing showers, will…
