No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
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…
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
