Turn

Spin a globe
pick a spot
Glide your finger
'til it stops
If we don't land
near ocean blue
Spin again
until we do

Sleeping Baby,
Darling child
Clouds and starlight
Starlight,
Starlight
When you wake
You will be mine
Starlight,
Sleep & Love

Sleeping baby
Shadowed dust
Clouds and starlight
Numbered starlight
When we're called to go
We must
Into
Starlight,
Sleep & Love

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

Melody

Seldom does a person give you the
sensation you feel from music.
If you find yourself wanting
their words on repeat,
never let go.

divinus innatus

I had not known an angel's touch
Nor seen a halo's glow
Not once was light casted on me
No gowns worn white as snow
But now I've held an angel's hand
Felt chills whilst an angel sings
Butterfly kisses from an angel's eyes
Who says they all have wings?

Searching

I looked for you

As soon as sun broke dawn
My shadow stood 3 stories tall
But I searched til it was gone

I had no luck

The rain had poured all day
My being drenched from head to toe
But you were still astray

I persevered

The winds matched my stride
My efforts countered ounce for ounce
But, ******, how I tried

And then I learned

The sun defeats each night
The skies clear up, The winds die down
Once you've lost your will to fight

I only hope

Above everything else
If I cannot find my other
At the least, I find myself

Do Tell

Tell me a fabled tale of hope
Where ambition meets fruition
Show me how to fuel a burning flame
Reveal all your weaknesses to me
Detail to me how each cog turns
As you're yearning to be kissed
And if I lean to meet your lips
Remind me it's a tale

Drop Anchor

---
We do it to ourselves.
We let ourselves hold on.
We anchor ourselves to this false hope
That something could happen.
---
Anchors make a man dormant;
Unable to journey.
We see false hope as being better
Than hopelessness.
---
We hold on to the imaginary
As long as we can,
Just because of how sweet
A taste of hope can be.
---
It's addicting,
But
Every wave
Will crash the shore
---
It takes the hands of more than one
To raise an anchor.
The strength of a crew
Is beyond its captain.
---
So sit back
And enjoy the view from harbor,
Because the ocean can only be yours
With all hands on deck.
