The most surprising thing about it
     Was how sweet the concrete tasted
Once I rushed the twenty stories
     To give it a kiss

Half circle waves crash into themselves on the shore
wipes the slate clean as they rush back to the deep
Where Amphithrite cradles them to her breast
and collects the imprints of lover’s footprints
before she sends them out again

If I jump ship and the tide draws me close to your heart,
will you keep me safe in the circle of your arms
Will you extinguish the lighthouse’s glow
so the pirates can run aground on jagged rock
buried in a sailors grave where no roses grow

When all is done and the storm has gone
will you walk with me on the shore my love
close to the clean slate of the water’s edge
Where the the waves can collect our footprints
and carry them to Amphithrite’s breast

Consciousness ebbs and flows,
from truth to reality
Endless circle of energy
connecting thoughts
between you and I
manifesting different shades
of what is real
between your eyes and mine.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

every day presents
a new gift

most good things in life are fleeting
snowflakes that flutter on the breeze
beautifully formed in crystal patterns
suddenly blend into the white blanket on the ground
ephemeral, never to be admired again

constantly I forget not to chase those snowflakes
captivated by the thought of their beauty
in awe of their delicate dance
I get so caught up in their being
they are so suddenly gone

you
the way, the truth, the light
the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow
you are the only good thing in this life
you are not fleeting
you are forever

and with your fingers you untangle
the cobwebs that have cluttered my mind
and you trace delicate crystal patterns in the darkness
as you show me what I have been missing
and begin to show me what is to come

the night has grown darker and the
snowflakes begin to howl in the strong winds of the
snowstorm outside of my window
even still, I want to chase them
but you bring me back to safety
you bring me back to you
