I pulsate shock waves

of pleasure that start pushing --


tides into the sea.

I drift from hopeful skys above, into the honest truth of my hubris below. As easily as, and as flowing as, a river flaked with this northern snow. How slowly I go, so as not to freeze. Yet I fall past Fall irrevocably, I, cannot stay - let alone forever in this clouded sky. And so, back to my own groundings I go. Adrift from my home and hopeful highs above, into the valleys I've know best, below.

I traced the texture of your words
Like my heart was blind
And your voice was braille

remember you are eternal
nothing can destroy your soul

relax into life's rhythm
be accepting of the slow

one day at a time one day to live
one moment to enjoy

wildfire to ashes
flesh to spirit
brain cavity to skull
change to perfected
infinite to infinite
eternal to eternity

Blindfolded
tongue tied
what price
blind silence.

dreams slip into your mind
as you slip out of it.

Sphinx in the desert,

knowing the riddles – I too


can keep my mouth shut.

I got lost in your silence
and found myself
in the forgotten
