Move like the black river
In the moonlight
Looked at by people on the bridge
silent, steady, courageous
Almost frightening
James Daniel Oct 2022
We made a line for you, mindful of our step
Up the perilous *****
While the sun made a line across the stone
And the lines of corn, like braids in the mountain, rustled under a blue sky
Moving slow against the compass
James Daniel Sep 2022
Desolation

I've got an obsession
The empty building
The empty room
Whistling a tuneless tune

A subterranean
Crying lonely tears
It's the only place I'm happy

Desolation

Grey skies make me smile
Silence is music
I could go a year without seeing anyone
Why is that so?


I'm so miserable
Those warm lights
And warm sounds thru the house
Make me feel strange

I have so many ideas
My brain could explode
I can hear the wind on the road
I can hear it when you smile

Turn off those lights
Turn down those sounds

Desolation

Life collects like dust in a cup
Slowly, day by day
Priceless
Earnings

Mystics
Readers
Tea Leaves
Interpreters of Life

Hot air balloons
Thru the doors
And halls of this house
Giant

I'll always have my eye on you
It's true
It'll never be thru
You're that character in my black book

I say I miss you
I'm already looking forward
To catching up with you

Is it crazed
Is it cool?
This eye I've got on you

I'm not going to say it
Neither are you
I'll always have my eye on you
You're that character in my black book


                    I don't know why you think of me that way
                    I thought I already said

                    That hangman puzzle has got you good
                    The lot of you standing there
                    Like firewood

                    I pray for you
                    I pray for good

                    I'm not going to say it
                    Neither are you
                    I'll always have my eye on you
                    You're that character in my black book

My imagination is aging
deteriorating

How I need a mountain view
A sea, salty and blue


I want to be a free spirit


Open the box
See it from the outside

Outer body, outer mind


I want to be a free spirit


I've been here for such a long time
Knowing what's behind

How I need a mountain view
A sea, salty and blue

I want to be a free spirit
James Daniel Jul 2022
I need to increase my imagination
With nature, road trips and hiking trails

Wonder is priceless
