Dear Air, I just wanted to say... You let me breathe you in and out, And in and out, In, Out Over and over again It seems to be one of the l o n g e e s t t e r n i t i e s We know Without you I would not be the same. I, We would lie pale on the dark ground, So vague that we appear Colorless Empty Without you I Would not be the same Nor would many of the others that crawl this earth. We breathe you in and out day by day, Is it painful? I am glad I am not in your place, To meet all the people you do And to know them so well. Giving them cold clear, and Warm thick kisses, On lipstick covered, chapped, broken, and bleeding. You still kiss them long and hard. You skim across In search of life. What a burden that seems. You are a saint for having a care, saved my life. Saved all that once were. You go through the motions With no more than... maybe not even Praise allowing me and many more To live yet another day.

Air -a bettered version
Dear Air, I just wanted to say thank you. You let me breathe you in and out, And in and out, In, Out Over and over again It seems to be one of the longest eternities we know. Without you I would not be the same Nor would many of the others that crawl this earth. We breath you in and out day by day, Is it painful? I am glad I am not in your place, To meet all the people you do And to know them so well. What a burden that seems. So I thank you for having a care, And allowing me and many more To live yet another day.

Air
Sadness is a blue ceiling. When against the blue skies It is invisible, It tries so hard to blend With the crowd, Mix with the crowd, Becoming a part of it. Sadness is a blue ceiling. For it is only seen when alone at night, Against black star filled skies. Bright blue ceilings Stand out, Your sadness Stands out. It has got no where to fly, Against the night sky.

Blue
The crystal clear glass, Separates from me, out there, The wondrous things. The delicious taste, Of sweet grass on my palate Like the first candy. Singing out, the birds, What do they say, I am deaf, For the window that...

Me From Out There
The Rain, It pitter patters down on rooftops, telling stories, singing songs. The Rain, it lulls some to sleep, while other times shouting, banging on the roof, trying to break in and soak all that lie beneath. The Rain, even named after itself, the word rolls of ones tongue like water flowing down the sides of dark roads. Rain, both happiness and sadness are brought. When sitting staring through blurred windows, at blurred objects, not masked, but softened, heard, understood by the Rain. The bleeding of the green leaves down the glass, is the Rain diving into the tree, and pulling out its emotions, maybe not to read, but to see, to hear, to discover. The Rain, it is a drumbeat to our own musical thoughts. It brings sad happiness, happy sadness. It brings desire, love, and with that, hate. It does not give, but provides to ones seeking advice. It tells to run, to hide, stay. The Rain, it reaches everything under the stars, in some way. Maybe never running down the face, but it still leaves a mark. So Rain, tell me, do you search for us? Or is it we, knowing or unknowing, reach to claim your touch? Is it your wordless advice so different from monotony is that what we desire?
