What do you see,
when you look in the mirror?

Do you look past the surface,
To look behind your own eyes?

Do you see all the memories,
Good and bad inside?

Do you see the future,
And what you plan to be?

All the land,
people,
And places you'll see?

Do you find your imagination,
Turning yourself gray?

Or the fire,
To keep you warm in old age?

Well,
I see a crown,
For the life I will rule one day.

I see a world,
Shaped like clay.

I see all my people,
Happy at play.

Keep every journal, fill every page.
So one day you may read them to the world on stage.
Resist avoiding cofrontation or live your life in a cage.

How can someone expect to go anywhere without any baggage?
You can't help the world until you've learned through your own damage.

I will love and respect every rock, stranger, and tree.
I will love every enemy who'd never forgive me.
These forces shape you and me, every miracle and calamity.

I want to write a song
A poem, a book, a script
I want to write a sonnet
What ever that is
I just want to write anything
Feel the words flow through me
This morning I can't think of anything
No topics to explore
No conversations of how I slept the night before
So I'll just write about writing
Writing about me writing about writing
I slowly tap the tiny squares on a screen
If any old poet could imagine
The ways that we write now

Well i didnt sleep
This morning i had cookies to eat
I forgot my sandwich with the lunchmeat

Im at work i start in ten minutes
Its gonna be hard to make it to the finish

Ill make it through
And when i do
Ill get home and sleep myself new

Its 1:43
It just started raining
The sky turns bright blue
For split seconds
As i lay here and do anything
Anything but sleep

4:00
Is the time i set my alarm
2:17 of sleep
2:15 actually as minutes pass
And words appear

I broke through a wall today
Green calcite aided me
Pulled out emotions
I tried to bury

So now
Do i sleep

Do i sleep

Do i...
It's 1:43

I haz weird thoughts

Maybe peace left me
Or i left it
At some point yesterday

I found it today
Hidden in some hard work

I've put it back together
I've put it in my pocket
With my phone my keys my wallet
There's where i wont lose it

Peace
I talk about its wonders
Its calm grasp
The anchor to the soul

The gentle breeze as it passes by
And through you

The birds
And all their wonderful songs

But the truth is
I dont know jack **** about peace
