does human mind perceive all
no
can you perceive more than me
maybe

want to lift up world
i falter at each new weight
suffering a must

How do you remove memory
From flesh?
If you knew the war zone
My skin has been
Would you shudder
Before every touch?

at mossy grave
asked to be alone and am
pretending to pray

Pain again is salt on wound
Tears are raindrops under an umbrella cloud
I’m not hiding from it anymore
It does not make my body sore

It rained other times too
And every time sunny moments followed
The green was greener
And my smile truer

Pain again is salt on wounds
I wonder now what flowers bloom
How high they’ll grow
What will they know.

my philosophy
is kindness without quarter
i practice poorly

you changed all that was
we built here now together
and this is just love

the present is now
told a thousand years ago
and we stand conscious
