Across the oozy leaden sky
A seagull with a battle cry
Hurried to his ultimate task
Before the sky puts on his mask.

Nobody knew what his task was
Except that his time drew to a pause
And that he had to hurry because
From the open he had to retreat.

The bird knew that but he was wayward
Swimming in the airy wave beak forward
Skating flying but always eastward
Heedless of the dark like a poet.

Ever changing
  the world that we know
Always evolving
  as we tune in the show
The kaleidoscope of life
  right in your eyes
Tuning out those
  who only tell lies
This circle of life
  we now go thru
Stepping on stones
  & other things we do
The turning scope
  first offers you red
Bringing to life
  the things in your head
The turning scope
  orange as you see
Fear is the lock
  your heart is the key
The turning scope
  now turns to blue
& some more wonderful things
  come out of you
The turning scope
  now yellow so bright
Filling your heart
  as day turns to night
The turning scope
  suddenly turns black
Exposing your fears
   all that you lack
Empty inside
  it just isn’t fair
A turning scope
  colors everywhere
With each offering yet
  a different view
Of what’s always been
  inside of you

Double sided like connection
The flight of hands interlocking
At the juncture of responsibility
For the sake of what matters
You promised not to let go
I trust you wholeheartedly
Hero from the start
I will not let you down unless
I wish to let go of my essence
In it together
I am responsible for where my hand leads you
You are willing to give more than you should
So I lay my weaknesses plain in sight and I
Don't let you fall into their trap
For they are but my own
And I do not wish to I abuse the love
That should never be taken for granted

Cuddle with a raven
Will you?
Beak and beady eyed
Sorrow on the pillow
It sprawls into
Distorted shapes of
Unpredictable uncertainty
Inner sense hasn't faltered for
Many moons, or did it?
Perhaps the thought of
Snoozing with a danger
seems thrilling
But wish for the encounter -...
