I would like the suffering to end but I've learnt so much in the shadows
Watching the air in the night makes me see it's alive
Once your eyes adjust it is never truly dark
The energy buzzes and dances
Lights often twinkle
Visions often form
Shapes align
Fear has pushed to the light
The light has brought me hope but sadness too
As the light has shone on all I do or do not do
The light dives deep into the subconscious sea plucking up fragments as a star lights view
The waters reflect its heat and it's warmth too
The sharpness blends into the ebbing flow rippling out across to land
The sea bed settles until
next
lights
dive

I know you tried
We weren't very close
But i still loved you.

I know you tried
You couldn't make it
That's okay.

I know you tried
Not sure why I haven't cried
Your note broke my heart

I know you tried
Another year would have hurt
You are happy and can breath now

I know you tried
And I know you will be by my side
The day I graduate

I know you tried
The day I graduate
I will look up and tell you I did it

I know you tried
But you will be by my side
Not in body but in heart and mind
I was never very close to you crazy old man but I still miss you. I know you tried to make it and its okay. I love you grandpa
When the roads need resurfacing the concrete opens to gap
The raw edges unearthed
The built up tension has caused the exposure to the rumbling core
The pressure placed upon uncovers the tender spots
We observe
We take in the scattered rocks  
Acknowledging its truth
The vulnerable air
We can be grateful we noticed it there
Wide open and bare
Now we can fill up from inside
To bring up to level
To join on the expansive highway
