Today is a day for writing
I tell myself this
As if it actually means anything
Instead I take a walk
The air is crisp
The trees gently sway
With the soft october wind
And I sigh
For how could I ever describe
The architecture of nature
The careful precision of tree roots
How could I describe
The luminous patterns I see
In every creature
Every plant
What justice could I bring
So I walk home
And I tell myself
Today is a day for writing
And you will try your best
The world is beautiful in so many ways
And i want to see and tell of all those ways

Every night
The sky plays a celestial song
A silent melody
For the eyes to listen to
I love a night sky with no lights but the ones above

Hatred encompassing our being
No being exempt from seeing
The tortue of earth
Capitalistic communists
Preaching iphone sermons
And latte speeches
While corporations leave plastic on our beaches
What kind of message this practice teaches
Is that its okay to be government leeches
And corprate zombies
In that  its all cream and peaches
But fact is within the care
And truth is just outside of that
To know is to suffer
But to not is to buffer
Stuttering smoothly through life
Questions arise but are stuffed away
All answers lay in elected hands
No introspection
Illegal to question discretion
Be discrete when realizing the world
The  eyes are watching
And the ears are listening
The last thing they want
Is to see your knowledge
The last thing they want
Is to hear your power
I believe the earth can be fixed. My opinion may be wrong, but i have faith in humans

How could I ever compare
To epic tales
Or ten page poems
How could I ever be
A leader
A teacher
Someone who's knowledge matches
Their confidence
How could I ever see
Millions of copies sold
A view that comes with piƱa colada
Cold
How could someone like me
With nothing to bring
Or give
Who's prideful facade
Will cascade with the dust
How could something so sweet
A dream so sought
And craved
Ever come to be
A dream is only a dream as long as you keep it that way

No one
Would think less of you
If you did not know
He cries every night
For the universe rests in his hands
The sounds and colors
The people the feelings
So many images all right there
In the palm of his hands
Yet no words do it justice
He can try
But he only feels failure
He can see it all in a second
Its all so real
He can almost touch it
In his mind
He practices
Holding an apple in his hand
He turns it green
And blue
Yellow
Red
Orange
Black
He gives it wings
Throwing it
With all his force
All his anger
Every bit of firey passion be has
He throws it
And watches it float down golden hills
Into a chasam
Then gliding up mountain winds
Meeting each cloud
With the kiss
Only an apple could give
Sweet and sharp
Crisp, clean and pure
Despite all this
Despite seeing the apple
And its winged journey
All he feels is failure
He has failed to truly show you
The beauty of the apples colors
The shine of the golden fields
The drop of the chasam
And the rise of the mountains
The glorius meeting
Of apple and cloud
A sight deserving of scripture
But a sight only he can see
No one would blame you
If you did not know
He cries every night
I have constant intense daydreams and being unable to express these images i see through visual art feels quite painful
But i try my best with my words

This is your garden
A kingdom with a court of fireflies
Flowers bloom
For lightening bugs
Keep drinking coffee
From your best friends mug
Watching your garden grow
You're so warm
I can see it in your eyes
Everything you touch goes green
Every time I speak
Things turn blue
Lets go sit on a rose petal
Forget about
The *** on the stove
Just keep on watching
Your garden grow
Life is worries and wonders
Focus on the wonders sometimes

Laying here
Listening to caves sing
I hope you're alright

Watching the sky turn
Pushing the clouds away
I hope you're alright

Still tasting vanilla
Dripping from my mouth
I hope you're alright

Theres something I wanna say
You're still there
Even when I know you're not

I hope you're alright

I hope you're alright
I hope they're alright
