Don't be afraid to fall
when in doubt call
Amen, amen
Be direct
It will have an lasting
        effect
Tear down your wall
Don't be afraid to fall
Another day gone by
I want you to know
I'll be by your side
prepare for change
I do care
It's in the air
tear down your wall
I’m having trouble
With communication
I talk far too much
  In all my relations...
All I’m really looking for
Is instant gratification
I long for home but
My heart
Seem to be
  On a vacation...
I realize
This is all just
Broken
Poetic contemplation...

Traveler Tim
It won't go down well
with almost everyone-
life's bitter medicine
has left so many undone-

but there's no escape route
no miracle could be spun
strength and endurance must come
from weakness, ere the last race is done.
Think not about
the gossamer windings
of feeble minds
for our souls' inner
structure
is by sacred design
and as we roam
and spin and
consume in flame
we do our best
to soothe our
own inner pain
and when the seedlings
burst forth
their silken fire
and the dam breaks loose
with longing desire
    we strive to remain
on top of the tide
in undertow rush
and unravelling pride
It is these moments
that we snap into shards
in a  mosaic of selves
veins mapping
                heart
and our arteries  burst
into rhythms that slide
as shifting polar sparks
           ignite waves of time
tectonic plates quake
as we are torn apart
        from inside
our cells reconstructing
our fibers re-defined
This is spirit recreation -
a tiny flare in the dark
for we are dying to survive
our own inner hell
we are ******* the breath
of that life-giving spell
we do all of this and more
                    as we crumble
                               and spew
on our knees at rock-bottom
searching for new
So fear not
those depths
of the unlit abyss
for it's our own
shining eyes
that stir
light's
fervent
              kiss
When you think what you want
Is not always what you need
But what you need
Is not always what you want
Mind teaser for want and need
May not always possibly be what is seems
Take a minute to think and see
The difference between “want” and “need”
