A hint

Small human
let me help you
don't be ugly
I know it's hard
life has a funny way
of turning against you
but here's a hint:
pain distilled is beauty.
DeityDog says look for beauty

High wire mind
the depth of me
brings out the best
in me, the test
of the tightrope
walk it with high hope
faith aligns with the rope.
fear of fear itself: bad idea.
Walk into the dark lake and meet your shadow.

Moss, on the forest floor
cushions my shoulders
amidst of towering pillars
I breathe in the woodland's breath
a cool breeze, that scents the palette
so refreshingly clear.
Let it rain and melt the ****** snow
that adornes the cutlery of this green kitchen.
Something pleasantly stirs.
When I was a kid, I would sometimes feel a happy jitter in the morning. But I didn't know exactly what for, as it would be another day at the office (school).

Shapes float

in the canvas

white as light

peers from behind

and draws shadows

on the mind


Light shines

outside linnen

white clouds

behind inner

sanctuary of

the mind

kyle
scales and strings, silly sounding wooden things,
where words don't have weight,
shadows and secrets scurry off the stage;

plucked to the rhythm of the soul,
a story that words had never told.
