SPRING

Life comes from life,
As shown in the spring,
When flowers come up to stretch their wings,
And show off their feathers to the gods,
That governs the land in which they grow.

But life also ‘comes with death,
As floods come and wash away,
The new life that just sprung up,
From the depths of the hollows.

But life is resilient,
And it begins again,
Just like a small flame,
Barely lit,
On the edge of an oil pit.

THE SUN

The sun rises in the East,
And sets in the West,
And while it is in the sky,
Life goes on.

A man walks to the store.

A woman drives to work,
And back again.

The sun rises in the East,
And sets in the West,
And the sun goes out like a light,
To make it night.

WHAT IS LIFE?

Is it the Love,
That fallows your heart,
Or is it the love that fallows your “head”.

Is it the Injustice,
That rules over the justice system,
That we have confidence in.

Is it the Fees,
That we pay,
For everything we do or say.

Is it the Energy,
That you put out to change the world,
In which you live.

LIFE is none of the above,
It is the study of who you are,
Who you want to be,
And what you have become,
In the time you have left on earth.

HURT

Laying on the floor,
Alone and cold,
Holding the door,
For everyone who enters.

It sits there gathering dust,
Getting kicked and replaced,
Set up and layed down.

There are rips on the cover,
And on the pages,
There are foot prints and dirt.

Then finally it’s picked up,
And placed on the self,
Where it won’t get hurt anymore.

2 not 4

1+1=2,
But 1+3 does not equal 4,
Even if 1 makes a mistake with 3,
Because the bond between 1+1 will always equal 2,
While 1+3 will never equal 4.

VARIATIONS OF A THEME

I broke the computer you were saving for college.
Forgive me. I was drunk,
And I wanted to see if it would fly.

DREAD

Run to here,
Sprint to there,
And never stop running around your room.

Duck and hide,
Slip and slide,
From shadow to shadow to stay away.

Scream and cry,
When the light is turned on,
And you have nowhere to hide,
From the dread that you’ve tried to avoid.
