One day I looked up
And there was a storm  
With all of its ominous brooding and I      
Having thirsted and been dry        
(for far too long)            
Rejoiced at your reign              

At your returning alive

Goodbye Ocean

It’s not that time
In its infinite wisdom
Healed anything or all that was crashing between my ears
No
It’s more that I chose
To wash away the sands of scent and memory
And to let you go
Adios
Used to be so true, but now it's just a tune. LOL. Adios.

There are no good old days (plural).
There is only the day you are having now (singular).
And death is all over yesterday.

MONOLOGUE I

You are not just the hero within the pages of your own story. You are the vessel of intuition. The growing understanding of self-undiscovered, be it in the conscious or unconscious arena. Competing with all under the sun. You live not to forget or yourself become the great shining deeds by which you may never achieve relics. But to bear witness to the self and its finite attempts to grow steadily alongside the tree of life. And in standing therein, rooted, smile at your own death. Knowing a more practical end awaits you moving.
Though not everyone is aware of it, or even capable of such contemplation. We are all so very different. With our many vice-passions and obsessions.

Enjoy.

Your clouds need not seek
Just as shadows need not flee
From the falling rain
All that a running soul needs
Is to in acceptance be
A tanka for those who are tired and in need of rest. To reassure the weary that their time of rejuvenation will come. Be it tomorrow or in eternity. Free.

God bless.

Jaded doesn’t describe me this
Crystallized heart and
Falling sound somethingness
Crashing like gentle leavings
Down and full of truth relived
Inevitable Fall

Fear

Fear is not more costly than loss
And in finding that we cannot fly
Half so well as we like to think about
Let alone try
It is the grounded meaning and by which
That we learn of the proportioned sky above
SIX LINES

Just one of many

My strength is like a weathered tree
Though shanken on the surface blown
And thrown about in raptures occasionally
Your summer storm will not shake me
Or in my roots well known, feel anything
You will not shake me. Not now or ever.

Ashes and wind
Dust and sand
In quiet and wishes and yet to knows

Just as with a snowfall your nothing begins
And happens upon our truth by happenstance
It is with melting direction which we flow

Unseen until our steady decline has since passed us by
We are all rivers in the sense of I
Attempting to lead ourselves to an ocean somewhere far below
How Love Flows
