Poet X
but dear,
if we humans were only ever meant to be beautiful

we wouldn't have been born in
the dirt .
you don't need to change .
Love, Sorrow, Joy, Pain, Beauty, Loss, Peace, Hatred, Hope…
All a part of life’s grand design, and if you have felt them,
then you have lived life.

When there is one, there is always the other,
always a balance so to speak.

But what if, what if there was more,
love, joy, beauty, peace, hope…

I dream of that, although it is just a dream.
I still dream of it!
Deep in thoughts...

How far gone
do I have to be
if laughter
makes me stomach sink?

I sit alone,
yearning,
wishing,
praying
for silence.

At least then,
in quiet arms,
I find the only stillness
I can.

Some dreams come true.
Then some are just a dream.
So I wish
Wish for things within my reach.
Like an orator seeking a better speech.
So I wish

I admit sometimes  I wish for too much.
Then some are simply not enough
Still, I wish

No, not seeking to be a millionaire
But if wealth comes my way.
To the lord, I must be thankful.

And if it never happens.
I will still be rich without nothing.
Cause without it.
I am still something.
So I wish.
Wish for a better world.
Wish also for peace.
Wish for happiness for others and also for me.

Hope is not a wish.
As a wish is not a prayer.
But put them together and you can accomplish so much more.

I wonder where you
are now and I wonder where
I am now these days

Traveler
Something or...
Somebody put me here
So I could take his place
Whoever this poet was
I don't recognize my face
I would never write
Such self indulgent words
From the old Traveler
Seems like
That's all we ever heard
No one needs to know
Where I go or...
Where I live
I'm still at the age where
I love to get and give
But who ever put me here
In this old fellas boots
At least you could have left me
With a hint of why or...
Who!
Traveler Tim

Do you ever wonder where my head is while writing these?
