My prayer

the pause
between
a breathe

the kiss
between
you and me

the moment
within
a moment
of yearning

the light
behind closed
eyes

Sometimes
we become
so full of
ourselves
that when we
look into others
all we can see
is ourselves
and
this
can
****
us
off
to no-end

Right now
my windows
are closed

She's out there
in the rain
and gray sky

I'm not worried
her voice is
all I need

She whispers
between the tree
branches

Her shadows
dance in hidden
places

If I open
my windows
I'm afraid
I might lose
her

what will you do
when
silence
knocks?

what will you do
when
loneliness
wants to be your friend?

what will you do
when
you speak but
know one hears?

I once walked on the
moon
she told me
my foot prints

told a story

leaning over
pond's edge
still water reveals
blue sky with moving clouds
tree branches
full of blossoms

a fish rises
kisses waters surface

Its kiss
reveals

sunyata

I'm wearing a mask
just like
yours
Do you like it?

we take the
mask off

I am you
and
you are me

cliche you say

then wear your mask

we can sit here
and breathe
air

Ohhh, I'm whispering it
again

I'm your
breath

I'm your
breath

Lovers never hold their
breath!

Breathe

Breathe

I sit here
staring out
the window

a lonely tree
in front of
me

It's in the
staring

that one
finds
freedom

I'm going to
pray

Not for you
and
Not for me

I'm going to
pray

You see
It hurts
When I
pray

It takes
every last
breath
to say

I'm going to
pray

I try to
hold you
in my
hand

but
you sift through
like
sand

the wind
catches
you

in the
back
ground
the ocean
presses
against the
shore

sand
foam
broken
shells

and thou

Socks, shoes and
feet
Where they bring
me
Thou shall speak

Soul
Who are you
Who
Thou shall we
meet

I alone am
I
Alone whom else
Who
There's so many

And
There's I alone
Shall
We walk again

Socks, Shoes and
Feet

This out-side
empty shell

It's not always
what it seems
to be, seriously

I blaspheme
It roars inside me
like an angry
bear

And who, what and where

that's sacred

Always mind those creaking
doors
