Ash

Gasoline,
Engines roar
The blacks crow
While the whites soar.
Trees they whistle
the plants wait,
Patiently.
Birds chirp,
The wind sizzles.
Humans communicating,
Roaming the surface.
Few may stay for some time,
Though soon enough comes their decline,
Decay, back down the opposite way.
In and out, expand & retract, forward and back
Solid to ash, consumption to trash.
Rock to sand, sand to glass
Glass to observe other mass.
The ash & mass come together once again
Solid for some time.
Eventually, rivers of wine.

Observation of patterns in life.

Influence

It is more important to love than to be loved,
It is more important to be loved than to love.
It means more to care than to be cared for,
It means more to be cared for than to care.
It is more meaningful to think of someone than to be thought of,
It is more meaningful to be thought of than to think of someone.
It is purpose that gives my life meaning,
It is life that gives purpose a meaning.
Is it myself that makes me feel alive,
Is it you that makes me feel alive.
What is it?
The word it…
What is the word “it”?
It is better to be idolized than to idolize,
Is it better to idolize than to be idolized.
It is satisfying to influence the world,
Without the world influencing you.
It is, It is.
I am sure of it.

You are Beautiful Like:

You are beautiful like
Not wanting to reminisce about you beautiful.
Beautiful like the pain you left.
Beautiful like the form of the water my body shed.
So beautiful, the way you made my torso ache...
My hands, knees, medusa shake.
A beauty, the way your eyes deceived
Dismissing lies so swiftly,
As an agile butterfly taken with the breeze.
The way you kept me in a cage
While you roamed the zoo.
The Queen B, so beautiful
The way I made your throne.
Too beautiful, I was...
to you.

A Grain of Sand

Influenced by silent hearts,
Longing for absent parts.
Claiming to be hard as stone,
Though precious as gold...
Your sweet temper shown.
About a simple grain of sand,
You seem to speak so grand.
About man,
You can't comprehend his plan.
Simply allow nature to select
& following close behind,
Nurture will come next.
It may be difficult to understand,
That love is giving...
You just need to grasp its hand.

A grain of sand..
is where we stand.

Nature will do its job, move out of the way

Cry

Filling with water,
Curving amongst the corners.
From white to red,
Like lava beneath the ice causing it to crack
Leaving the water to melt,
Continuously flowing down
Finding its way through the bluffs,
Joining back with the vale of the mortal.

All life cries as we do, including our planet and the skies.

Cycle of Vitality

༷

When A Flower Gets Enough Light, It Opens Up

This Is Where All The Beauty Begins.

That Beauty, Is Usually

Short Lived.

When Enough Light Is Consumed

& The Flower Has Sacrificed Itself To Nature

There is Nothing Left to do but Perish the Salvaged Soul.

∞

Infinite Cycle of the Universe found everywhere in Life.

Fire or Ice

Fire or Ice
I choose to burn
Rise out this hell
Into the heavens
Float into the light
Absorbed, consumed
Spirit carried by smoke
Becoming a part of the cosmos
A grander scale
I pray for clear skies
Blankets of evil will try to bring me back down,
as the son of ice
To confirm my burial in hell
Yet I will sprout
Disguised once again
My branches will continue to reach
For the light I will become
With the light I will grow
Fire I am,
Ice I consume
I convert
I digest
I rise.

...I will always Rise.
