New Beginning
Daniel Stoll Aug 2020
Starting often,
Sinking often,
Lifting ourselves timidly,
Posturing before news,
We feel broken,
The world feels broken,
Yet we hope,
Hope in the above,
Hope not in the below,
And hope the new horizon
Is as beautiful as
Our neighbor says.

Unincorporated
Daniel Stoll Aug 2020
Du bist wichtig,
Remember that attempting language is the
Key to learning language.

Don't be like the rest,
English is not the only language of the future,
Nor was it the language of the past.

Let time not take you away,
But hold your differences close to your heart,
And know that life ist nicht tief.

Center
Daniel Stoll Aug 2020
It can be hard to find your center,
The place your mind sits in sleep,
The center is all we know how not to do.

Take time to feel the rhythm of motion
And know what it means to not only be
Center but feel centralized.

Myth-Making
Daniel Stoll Aug 2020
Once,
A man fell from heaven,
No, not a man,
An angel with the qualities of man,
Not a human, a man.

His yesterday is our tomorrow,
Our lives are his calling,
And his language is our ritual.

He lacks definition and structure,
Yet we seeks patterns in his character,
I hate to say it, but we seek him
Like Oedipus seeking consolation through death.

He will continue falling just like us,
Landing somewhere altogether unseemly.

Change
Daniel Stoll Aug 2020
Out of my mind is the incessant
Ticking of time, Taking all my
Mundane moments and making them
Sentimental, Talking to people suddenly

Seems more divine than it should,
But that's good. Tell yourself day by day
That you are worth your own time, time
To think on what makes you tick and talk,

Time to pursue what lies beyond your doubts
And fears, leading to peaceful thoughts.

Tomorrow
Daniel Stoll Jul 2020
Life can be hard,
And it can be even harder
For those who seek for
Something more.

Like Moses thinking
Even he was unfit
To lead, we too shy
Away from our own trials,

Tribulations that need to be
Overcome, conquered, risen
Above to prove that the human
Is worth more than the man.

Doing the wrong thing can be
Better than the right thing if
You learn something from your
Mistake. Don't mistake right for free.

Learn what it means to be wrong.
And feel settled in being a human, not a man.

In the Ground
Daniel Stoll Jul 2020
Put in the ground
Implications by those
Who do not understand
Your plan and passion.

Disregard opinions
That leave you feeling
Like you were left not
Breathless but broken.

Help yourself to understand
What it means to feel loved
And feel connected to those
Who will call you their friend.

Pick up the pieces of you
Left by others
And assemble a regality
That others will question.

Anecdotals
Daniel Stoll Jul 2020
Time speeds faster every day
Toward the ever setting sun
Where life and freedom exist as one
And death can't help but run.

Listen to the advaitic song within
It wants to leave its prison
And come into the light
To see the shining sun.

Let others hear your voice
Step into life's new light
To see the setting sun
And see it rise again.

Primitivism
Daniel Stoll Jul 2020
Old streets put the mind at ease
Old souls teach discipline
Old lives teach acceptance of death
And we all know the sacred dance.

People feel weighted
The world feels weighted
These cobblestone streets have too much weight
Life can't give way to life.

Put your feelings aside
Don't let them crawl on your own skin
Cast your net to the other side
Let it free you from your sins.

— The End —
