Life was once to me
A slate to chisel
Frame to feign
With stars the occasional to see, unfelt
When really
As an owl
I never knew a sunrise word until I stopped seeing the morning

Moonlit lips I often kiss
Too run around with sunlight
.........
Stare longingly at rainfall out
At leaves Fall down
..................
The ocean and her daughter longing
Calling me to avail myself to their dreams of being
...........................
When really, too often there I am found out
Too often called by name
....................................
Because I love the same familiar sounds
Of natures romp abound
...........................
Hence why the beat of a familiar breeze
In my head of hearts, always pounds
..................
Quiet and
Consistently there
.........

Not to be found
But reaffirmed in mind
As no verse will ever lift you up
Or bear your cross quite like
Christ

When feelings are a night sky
And the darkness is all around you found
Keeping out with little window lights
Your prerogative is even clearer now
Than to those around
As I am the night sky reincarnate

Hush is not a shush, lover
Change is not of force but nature
Grown from stem, and root, and sound
Like fingerlings in the mountain streams
Like the tingling of your neck rundown
Can you hear the ripple deep the vein?
Can you feel the starlight warm composed?
Will you look in my eyes and see
Yours of the possibilities found
The kind of wish we both know?
With this symphonic symbol yours
And the seconds fleeting faster than stars
Falling I give you more than another song
Which I do not own
With this I, I give you my own

Close your eyes to show you
The slant of the earth
Gradual and complex
The tilt of the head
Simplistic and free
Therein found rounded edge
The view from the corner seat besotted
See that?
I wish the world could see the world like me
Just this once

Second chances come
Only open to those who
Arriving slowly
Choose the feeling calling rays
Of sunlit memories felt

My bliss palpable
Is the chaos of their shared
Collective coffee

A home
That is not something you buy
A home is someone you ask
A turn in the road of life
You try
Having better than taken alone
You build each other up

Shinkai understands light and reflective shadow. The flow of nature, pacing, and time. Capturing distances close, with quiet thoughts aloud, while voicing the humble machinations of the hopeful mind. He applies miles of perspective with both rigid and applicable standards, as well as a **** good ability to create the sublime. He is creator and visionary director in detail. And I admire and aspire all such of his kind. That's why.

Ideas
Really good ideas
Are like dreams asleep

Take melatonin
Eat a pickle
Try as you may
To recreate
And force them into wakeful being

But you cannot
Not matter what you do or do not eat
As they will only visit
When your conscious mind is at ease

Unaware of hunger or self indulged feast

Or you could try tacos
Tacos always give me dreams

In time, imperfect being knows itself at such
And still accepts that it is
And isn't so much
That which is immediately wanted and more
For all could become in time, in time
So much more than that we ever were before

No matter how tall you walk
How modern you get
How far you seem to fall
Or how hard you try and forget

The stars will always wink and smile
The waves will always crash goodbye
Just as the sun will always set on you
And the earth will always rise

And so you shall also remember
Until the day you die

I trick myself
More often than most
That the time before me will feel better
(somehow)
Than the air which I now breathe most close

It won't

Time is time
Just as a perception is a vision of the mortal mind
Most unknown
Heck, I
Need to learn how to live for the moment of most

It's time

I want to move you like a day
well remembered
from afar

Short and sweet
your heart to shift
your eyes to reach for another star

My hope is always in 'suchaways'
presented so as not to find
or be guilty of wanting less

I express and play
with the vision just beyond my own

To show you, see you
move enact
such is my desire today

As I want to move you not so far away

When choice is not a matter of heart
Or sight a glance at sun kissed chin
Arise my dawning love, arise
Don't look away
I'm not sorry that we must being

Lost in a car ride roadside song
Joyous with praise in the halls of his days
Carried through the well-known words by unfamiliar ways found
And when I lay my head down
I am free
On earth

Create
   Are you happy now?
Escape
   Are you something now?  
Engage
     Are you lacking now?
Erase
   Are you nothing now?
Replace
   Are you growing now?
Keep pace
   Are you fleeing now?
Change face
  Are you about now?
Embrace
   Are you joyful now?

It's drive and focus
   Edge and flexibility finesse
It's youth which fades
   Bulls On Parade
   And my curse midst blessing
   One of many things
BEST my meaning, interesting
   As for one more year
   This old mortal
   Is king
Forward any doubters
   Doubts trying to bring

Like snow on the rails
Trampled leaves on the grounded trees
Fleeing light
Familiar scent well known
And the lasting stars you cannot always see
But are still there
The wait is having
My heart a quiet rustle in the summer breeze
Just go and live
Be it amongst noise or fog
As you hold not a single familiar scent or sound
Over me
You are winters cold
And your crackling quiet frustrates me
Just go
Please

Everywhere I go, unseen
The prevailing narrative being
"I could not speak to he"

Tall and menacing
Quiet and stern
So well and in his pace, to flee

Looking quietly past the height of me
And quickly away by chance
But you

In passing with a scrolling spree
I adore when you can read as this
I adore when you see me

If left to my own ...
Fine devices
ALONE

Without anything ...
But conflict
FELT

I will not shine bright ...
Or glow by candle
LIGHT

But blow out the fire
Of hopefulness
COLD
...
