His dog died, mine did, too.

He was right, that's all there is to it.
He was famous, before I could read.
A heart adrift in the fields of pain, I wander, restlessness as my guide.
Each face tells a story I long to mend, yet my hands feel useless and desperate, tied.
Empathy flows, a river deep, but real solutions feel out of reach.
Their suffering echoes, my own heart weeps, a foolish savior on a lonely beach.

Yet in this shared despair, a flicker might ignite,

A hand outstretched, a voice in the endless night.

Snow is melting beneath my feet,

You and I, unnecessarily meet.
genetic & embedded in both
the left and right brains and
heart muscles, pores and parts
that participate in the body’s
daily ritual colloquium regarding
the necessary amount of magic
needed, upkeep required,
to please the Lord, 
whose designers were
co~missioned,
tasked-to make a self healing
being, with a reasonable shelf
life but with built-in imperfections
and to struggle and to
honor  that idea that we born blind
and our goal is
learning to see,
envision
our better

version

the
correct redirection of
constant course corrections
using the
secret compass chord
playing on the harp of our
heart strings

903am
1/23/25
on a day of addition and sub traction
She walked into the road to stare at the stars
I asked if it was safe and she said you watch for cars
20 odd minutes floated on by
And all I did was stare into her eyes

Cause oh she shines
Oh she shines so bright
Oh she shines
She shines but she’ll never be mine

Like a warm winter fire her smile cures my soul
It burns with desire each day that unfolds
As we lie in bed together that laugh pure as gold
I’ll want for forever but a fools all I know

Cause oh she shines
Oh she shines so bright
Oh she shines
She shines but she’ll never be mine

I’ll walk forever these nights all alone
3 in the morning just dropped her back home
And even if I can’t be Hers in the end
I will settle for being her friend

Cause oh she shines
But its all in my mind
Oh She shines but she’ll never be mine
