Waiting for a second set of eyes
Who sees the ocean as it is
In all of its terrifying grandeur and beauty
The colors this and dark abyss

Who sees the rolling waves of God alive
And sands of heated shoals to hold
I wait and look for these other eyes
For those who now also behold

The difference between life and stories
Is that when one ends
The other keeps breathing
Or not

Cold sunshine, seeps down
On a day without hope and
Brings forward anew
Like a sound without new sound
On us, cold sunshine beats down

Reaching into absolute nothingness
And yet, with just a glimpse,
or a second, or a moment past
My objective correlative
Just as you pass
I can grasp at straws and universes unknown
Yet to be explored
By spaceships or writers or wanderers alike

The balance between quiet and community
The calming free and the crunch of expectant others, ew
How to wish and wish
That I would not be
Bound by such constraints
As myself and me
(So often imposed)

A riesling fog
Rolls back like fingers
From the base of the Alleghenies

And I
In watching still
Call forth no words to move as it

Somedays
A cold existence as a tree

Calls out to me
This warming flesh
So full of fault and failure anew
So weak in ages duress
And yet
The trees they see with neutrality and
Fall freely each year in the form of leave
They live, they die, they oversee
And grow taller than I could ever hope to be
One ring can not compare
To the many found therein with these

Somedays
I envy the trees
