"I neither seek rhymes nor avoid them, for either attitude would involve a too conscious control of my expression." - Herbert Read
It's hard to push through the soil to reach the sun, It's tough to put on a smile for everyone, Sometimes the rain isn't enough to get by, And all you can do is say goodbye. It's time to say hello to the right field so my roots can grow, As low and wide as they can go, Yes there will always be rocks and things along the way, But I won't know what I'm missing until I pick myself today.

The Antidote To Worry
Internalized lies Exposed in the moon light Words drip like blood O     u           t                    o                           f                                         me No more The hidden shadow was always: Fear Nothing else to see here

Midnight
Cuando la luna ya no alcance mis andares; El sol se habrá esfumado y la tierra quedará fría y sombria. La noche que acabe con todos mis llantos; Acabará con los triunfos cotidianos. El día que deje de extrañarte; Será el fin de mis anhelos y la Sorpresa misma morirá. No quiero eliminar la desgracia, Solo busco alimentar la esperanza en los huecos más oscuros de un jardín escondido en mi cabeza. Hay melón y sandía listas para probarse; ¿Quién habrá pensado que estarías enamorado de los frutos que oculto?

Frutos ocultos
Walking towards the unknown, There it lays in the dark... Living within its embrace, What have I truly found? An ordinary tale for you, An ordinary tale for you.

Gratitude holds their breath Memory runs a marathon Exaggeration shares the news Truth watches their actions while writing silently in a black and white notebook with grey ink Mystery peaks behind Truth Curiosity is right behind Mystery without seeing Truth's scribblings Rest tries to pull Gratitude out of the sea while unfounded Criticism stabbs curiosity in the back as Curiousity cries out Care embraces the culprit Love holds Curiosity in their arms Who will resucitate curiosity? Inspiration Inspiration comes to the rescue

Pronto llegarán Three instead of one Rostros de arena Coming from afar Se los lleva el mar Rostros de arena Me gritan que aquí I'll only drift to sea Rostros de arena Agarra al anchor Sail por amores.

Rostros De Arena (Revisited)
I can read the lines between your eyes Every emotional hand-me-down ...Relax... Uncrinkle the nose, the mouth and forehead... Throw away those thoughts instead.

Between the lines
Coming from afar Se los lleva el mar Rostros de arena. Feeling two instead of one Sé que pronto llegarán Ships to use me as an anchor. Me gritan "súbete aquí!" But I only float to sea Mareándome en pudor. Which sail will catch me? ¿El norte y sur del que salí? The faces in the sand must know.

Faces in the sand (Spanglish)
It is something I can't tell anyone, At first I thought it was fun, Realizing now that I have a problem, And it pains me to admit the ruin...
