Be a bird even if not heard Be the light even in the night Be alone even on your own Be bright even if not right Be simple even in the jungle Be butterfly even when hard to fly

Greek god Apollo Of archery and healing Poetry and songs His sun chariot Shines flaming with rays of light Ignites the blue sky The god's golden lyre Ethereal melodies Sound as each string's plucked His arrow flies true Shot straight from the golden bow Apollo doesn't miss His wise Oracle Sits on the seat at Delphi Giving good counsel His loyal children Blessed with sight and healing gifts Bring him much honor The Greek marble gleams As sculptors try to capture The god Apollo

Apollo: a series of haikus
Some sounds do not belong to instruments. They live just after. Or just before. The echo the piano makes when no one is touching it. The hum of a string not struck  but shaken by something nearby. The part of a voice  when the singer forgets they’re being heard. Sometimes the most important sound   is the one that wasn’t played     but was felt       in the hand that almost moved. There is a kind of music   that only exists     inside the listener. I’ve heard more truth  in the seconds between chords  than in the chords themselves. Because those seconds     aren’t performed     they leak. And maybe that’s where the music   stops pretending   and becomes real.

the sound between
I write on paper, A lot more, Since the last six months, It feels better, Than staring down a screen, Where I tie my artistry, To the last echoing words, I wish I let them pull me out, Of all this, Much sooner.

Writing On Paper
Be strong and have courage Soar among the stars For you have a purpose Be as bright as a wildfire This is a message For the damaged For the broken Even with your wreckage God will help you to be outspoken Be brave and kind Be a light in the dark Let your light shine Be the spark

Be The Spark
I slump into an armchair Feet drooping down And sprawl onto the carpet Watch the dust float around I have no place to go Nothing to do No faces to see Nothing is new Boredom is as human does Sun wearily crosses the sky above I'm stuck with a fly and a ticking clock Too leaden to move, much less to walk And even the aforementioned dust Has more to do than I.

Maybe in another universe I wouldn't be so sensitive I wouldn't be so emotionally dependent I wouldn't take everything to heart I wouldn't minimize my feelings And i wouldn't lose myself

Maybe
There's something in the air That makes me feel like I've been here before The birds chirping The sun disappearing and reappearing behind fluffy white clouds The soft breeze The heat I've lived this summer before Maybe in a different universe, Another life time, Or a dream... Maybe I'm still asleep
