"loneliness"







is okay







i loved her then







and i love her now





put milk in the fridge






and give love to a cow






dream all the dreams






and when you wake






say "wow"
maybe I’ve been humbled

yet again
maybe “maybe” is all there ever is
maybe “God”
maybe loss
maybe I’m afraid to hurt
to be hurt
to accept

maybe I like the chase
maybe I want that old love once more
maybe I’m better off without it
maybe I can love her just like this
(and maybe that’s enough)

maybe I reach too high
maybe I’m looking too low
maybe I am human
maybe I have trouble with acceptance
maybe all this isn’t quite so bad
maybe there’s an awful lot of love in this world
maybe the cold can be fine too

maybe Crows are King
maybe Christ
is the breath of all beings
maybe Life
is what happens
when we sing
few words  
  
     are always true

       like     “light”

       and     “dark”

       like      “god”

       and

“I love you”
I go down to the river
To see what’s for sale

And I come back a giver
— Fat like a whale
Do you believe in?
I befriend “the devil”

and in so doing

befriend

"the self"
Is it more beautiful than you?
       Is it more beautiful than me?

Is it more beautiful than the birds?
       And more beautiful than the bees?

Is it more beautiful than the wind?
       And more beautiful than the breeze?

Is it more beautiful than two?
        Is it more beautiful than three?

Is it more beautiful than you?
        Is it more beautiful than me?
