many much, many more
the words are scattered on the floor
I kick them with my careless feet
until the poems themselves complete

This passion beast we ride
Will never let us rest
Temperate souls remind us
That life is but a test

Yet the youthful ear
Awaits a greater sound
Yearning souls remind us
To hunt for the profound

The deepest humans fear
That our world has lost the light
Patient souls remind us
Everything will be alright

Spend the dull human days
Sifting through smoky dreams
Ancient souls remind us
What it all really means

Our doubtful human heads
Fall heavy to the earth
Faithful souls remind us
God’s will contain man’s worth

Pale wisdom – come and go
Provides a moment’s peace
Watchful souls remind us
Our intellect’s on lease

We’re dying for love
While we’re living for fear
Human souls remind us
We’re already here

Remember the time we walked as a group
It was down by the river – I bet that you do
I didn’t know you, and you didn’t know me
But that didn’t matter – apparently
You brushed up beside me and sweetly said “hi”
I fell in love with you then, but I didn’t know why
We started to talk, and I put on my charm
Hoping my heart wouldn’t cause you alarm
But it usually does, and I think that it did
I looked for you later, but I think that you hid
That didn’t stop me, it made me search more
For the soft-eyed earth angel – I had to adore
I love you, you see, and I think I know why
Because love always says – let’s give it a try

thoughts thump like a drum
off the skin of my mind
leaping into to the world
with the truths that they find

angelic softness
of a genuine smile
sets her spirit unfurled
with a quiet laugh
she humbly cast
a perfect visage to the world

Hold the Sun above your head
While He holds you beside Him

A drop of fear in the pen
Stains the whole piece - ugly
Be lightning that strikes the sky
Feel your way through
Without a shudder of a try
