the most hurt
comes from the people that don't understand you

and most problems
come from the people that do

People are not smart because they know things,
They are smart because they have a will to learn

Be very happy
(For a very small amount of time)

The night swiftly wafts through the window,
the darkness, opaque, though everything is there,
the soft glow of moonbeams from the heavens,
the clock ticking it's undying sound,
me in my bed pondering life's wonders,
the moon drifting each and every night.
Soon I am gone, everything is gone,
The Moon moves steadily on

There is always a weight on our backs
pressing its sharp corners deep into our hearts,
crushing our hope, extinguishing our light.
And always, through some act of God,
We rise to meet it

A sound,
caught up in the silence
a mistake by natural cause;
The winds whispering
through the grasses
trying to find an ear to tell
Their secrets
The movement of a domestic cat's ear,
swivelling to catch an unheard vibration;
a voice
Your mind trying to tell you that it was nothing,
yet succumbed to the lie itself
it's tendrils unfurling fully,
controlling more than you'd like
A sound,
caught up in my ear,
Begging
to be heard.

Eyes can confess
your deepest, darkest
emotions and yell it to
the world.
As all windows are,
they can see out,
hoping that you
won't look in

Through the forest hush
I swiftly travel
to the ocean brush
sounds unravel
Upon the lonely, unbroken trees
I pause and listen
to the soft sound of the undying breeze
wafting over the ocean to
join the stars in the sky
sweetly singing over the din,
The waves ringing out an unbroken tone
as the trees fall in,
my heart stops in wonder
their song,
sounding into the night.

Kind, beautiful, simple
words are,
spun from the essence
of the soul,
penetrating deep
into the hearts of many
to nurture the springs
of life within all,
drawing the net
of life taunt with
Love

I'm a crab
Is that too literal?
