He seeks reflections
In shadows on walls
expressions induced in others
sounds of praise
to clarify
his current illusion of
who he is

Are there mirrors
Clear enough
To find
A vision that
might become different
might be clearer
a repost

I found him
hidden inside the closet.
That's what safety looks like.

With the moon and sun
nature's quite remarkable

the company of shadow
- a gentle ease

she comes around-
for long winter stay-

welcome as daffodils
in full bloom

in the dark earth
where love hides

a new song;
We love you child-



as the Sun
loves the Moon.

The light,
It caves into me.

Chirping birds
And buzzing bees.

I feel free
Of sickness,
Sadness,
To the highest of degree.

The light brighter
Than the sunshine we see.

My joy
Taller than the tallest tree.

Yet it still grows,
Up it goes,
As it perches behind me.

As I sit
Beneath the meadows
Of yellow,
With children bellowing
Sweet melodies
Around me.

I believe
And receive,
Life's joy through my body.

I am in light,
And full of delight,

That this is what life can truly be.

jumped in the skin of dreams
- nights reign over day

many strangeness found there;
and we found there too;

goodbye to past lives
we always said

as we wandered here and there
hoping to find old friends

and as always the remembering
the remembering of broken dreams

Sliding through the cracks
Screaming monkey on my back
Nowhere to go nothing to do
Sitting in a bucket of crying some blues
When a love is nothing just some fact
You pass that crossroad and you can't turn back
In the hutch a bottle of gin just a way to hide
Doesn't fix the problem just dulls the inside
Climbing out the well dripping from the dunk
I tire and rest a bit no breeze to blow the funk

A woodlouse strolling
The spider watches from strands
Vibrations are gone

Led by desire-
hidden springs' to quench
-a thirst to love
a need to be- In solitudes
arms. All counts in loves
embrace. In loves sight.
Every desire to be-
every thirst to be found.
