The opposite of happiness is never sadness,
or pain,
or blue,

It is always indifference.

Under the light of the moon.
You’re still a mystery to me.

And every night in my dreams I wonder
if you hear the soundtrack of my soul.
Like I hear yours.

Please know, You’re never alone.
Just continue to bloom.
As I will too.

Until then, I’ll search these
muddy waters for you.
My lotus love.
I run out of patience, I run out of time,
Life's clock tells me I'm running out of years;
When my mind's weary,  I run out of rhyme,
Why is it I never run out of tears?
My soul understands my brain
And when the world collectively declines from understanding my ways
My brain will understand my soul all the same
She cried into her lap when she lost her innocence
Not because the wanted it to reappear inside of her
But, because she would never again experience the pleasure of losing it
Quiet down my dear heart
And let your silence call him into your chambers
Oh the chase
The certainty that gives
the clarity to see
a path lies beneath
the current uncertainty
Uncertain times cry out for some base line certainty
