I feel your hand in my hand and your heart on my chest
And the only thoughts I think are thoughts of you
And I think your hugs and kisses are the best
And the words that come from my mouth are only true.

The tired creeps in on invisible mist
You cannot see through this mist
You cannot hear a word.

Only muttled and muted sounds fill your ears
Thoughts slowing and spinning
In little circles in your head

The tired suffocates you without you noticing
Soon you are enveloped in the tired
It eating at your muscles

Numbing your nerves
You do not feel motivation
You cannot escape

But tired is not a bad thing
Tired is a signal
Tired is meant to be used for good

Follow the tired
Follow it, floating on gaseous wisps
Follow it to peace

Let the tired in
Let in the mist
Let in the
Rest
Peace
Tranquility

Float through the tired, find the sleep.

My life is so good
I've always been spoiled
Always food on the table
Always parents who love me
Always friends who adore me
Always money in my pocket
Always a smile on my face

But is it ok

To wish you had less?

To wish you had worse?

To wish to feel true happiness?

To feel a special ray of sun

When you get your favorite meal

As opposed to having your favorite meals

Every day?

I sometimes wish I had it worse.

At least I would have something to write about.

These bricks that create me
These red bricks that make myself
These bricks are crumbling
Soon they will be tumbling
I cannot stand it anymore
My concrete joints are becoming sore
My precious brick
My lovely me
The thing that held me together
Is crumbling free

A giant tree
A gnarled beast

A giver of care
A giver of home
A giver of wisdom
And food it bears

The tree, with twisted roots
And evil knots
And crazed branches
Is a beauty
And a blessing

Dedicated to Sage*

Free the day
Feel the sunlight
Fresh and free
Peeking from the vines

Fresh air fills the lungs
As toast finds the plate
As eggs meet bacon
As a backpack meets a shoulder

Fresh and free
Is the young day  
Off on new adventures
Off on old frontiers
Off to find friends

A new day bursting
With energy
And charm

The sun still low
The sun hugging the trees
Reaching through the windows
Pulling you into a new day

All the kings and all the sea
Can't tear you away from me

I see, I see, a shining knight
A glimmering shield, a shining plight

A plight that says he will not leave
A plight I am happy to believe

I see him there upon the shore
But his armor he doth not bore

I walk through the cool sea mist
And upon his lips I place a kiss
