A ramble in the woods to clear the clutter from my mind The mountains sing, the creeks & rivers sing louder The birds can be heard, adding to the song If you watch & listen an amazing show to be part of A ramble in the woods, a great way to rapidly bond Suffer together, type two fun See what youre made of under clouds & sun When the aches subside, a ramble again

A Ramble
The poets hand drags his graphite & somthing is created One of a kind from a unique mind Synopsis turned tangible A legend by work, but name lost to time

The pain of goodbyes Tears & long sighs How does a man not feel weak as he cries Cant stop the floodgates no matter how hard he tries He tilts his face to the skies as he dries his eyes Still he feels grateful for such strong family ties The end of an adventure with so many highs Pant thighs & shirt damp seemingly dyed Forward through the fog as the pain slowly dies

Goodbyes
When I reach the ridgetop on the way to the summit, the wind & views of the vast expanse of jagged snowy peaks Breathe life into me. Heart thumping, no dead feeling inside today. How long the dark smothering cloud stays away...a mystery A wolverine! He brought me goosebumps. Extremely lucky if only for a moment...but I have no luck & only a few bucks The trees, the snow, the breeze, a grand show As I glissade...pure happiness My kind of descent, avoiding the dark plunge for now Is adventure the only thing that saves me? Next day soreness so satisfying But happiness is only a state of mind, fleeting Ill have to climb out of those depths again But for a while a depression cure Until another journey when I'll take those steps again A rise within....

Peaks & Valleys
There is no sea without the shore. All shored up, afraid to bridge the gap...to cross that line & take to the unkown...

Shored up
Do peaceful moments just come of their own accord? How much influence does stimuli have on contentment? Cant be purely chemical. Serotonin, cortisol, norepinephrine. Like everything in life.....trying to find a balance with far to many variables. An educated guess. A fun chemistry experiment, this life. States of mind...

Peace
Stop, start & stop again Control the rising rage within Rotors & nerves worn thin Stop, start & stop again

If I prayed I'd pray for you Your religion was force fed so I strayed from you If I prayed I'd pray for you, to understand there are other realities to. Your religion caused me pain & that wont do If I prayed I'd forsake my truth...

If I Prayed
Chair, you're always there, waiting to take the burden of my weight when its gets to tiresome to bare. Indoors or out in the open air, this is the ode to the tireless chair...

Ode to the Chair
Sounds isn't sound until it vibrates an eardrum. Light is only warmth until it reaches an eye. I look to the thunderstorm in the sky, glad I have these instruments to experience the grand show...goosebumps & a long sigh
