I look down at the water
fluffy clouds and solid trees
a glorious crystal sun and a silent pale moon
stars sprinkling their glitter across the heavens
a white butterfly flutters and blushes
my soul sings somber music
For what do we all have to do
to get that peace?

songs: Waymaker, So Will I, Reckless Love, Came to My Rescue,...

Foolish Me

Thought that I could catch all my dreams
I looked foolishly to the sky and asked for my dreams to come true
My fingers too brittle and small to catch the big and burdensome dreams
but also...
too big to catch the micro dreams
they just slipped through my fingers
and fell into the sewer drain

I was that foolish and didn't feel the reality
Foolish Me

Microscope

One eye held up to a leaf
where I see the same creases on my hand
a drop of dew collects at the tip
the green is almost blinding

Night

I looked up
my vision rimmed with tall, graceful green trees

I spun
wearing a dress of stars

the blackness only
reminded me
how bright
the stars were

I ran

in the beach in front of me
clear white sand shifted

The waves embraced the shoreline
was sent away, again and again
behooving the other

I smiled at the sight
a breeze ruffled my hair
the sun kissed my eyes
I tripped over
a half-buried shell
into my majestic artwork of sand

Laughter only colored the picturesque sight

Hike

up the mountains
past the tall, proud evergreens
and the bashful dots of flowers
look down:
the world only appears smaller
than it seems
