95
Resist
The temptation
Of scarcity

96
Family
And friends are
So precious

94
Become like
The trees that give
Tirelessly

19
Have you, we, forgot
Everything since coming down here?
Darkness blinds us all

82
Connect
With one another
We are one

40
Don’t judge your neighbor
For he is also a gift
Of god, just like you

18
Captives, we become
As fear, proudly, pulls the noose
Tighter and tighter

26
Smashing, we break out
Like rain from clouds, we burst through
Our time will come soon

46
Even lepers know
Compassion, where is yours?
Why hide your treasure?

60
Become shining light
Illuminate the darkness
The world needs you

27
Dare to awaken
For this nightmare is soon done
Light will soon rule all

28
Incredibly brave
And amazingly daring
We enter this world

29
Use your mind to build
A world where understanding
Is the only way

52
Don’t you realize
That divided is backwards?
Please please please wake up

2
Who can survive that
Ravenous hunger, that need
To be understood?

53
So many people
Still asleep, still using fear
As their cold pillow

44
My eyes are wide open
I now see life differently
I connect with heart

49
On behalf of all
Living, breathing, loving life
Everywhere; welcome

51*
Let me feel your palm
Let us, together unite
And celebrate love

41
Cornacopia
A living, breathing garden
Our small planet is

24
Why mother earth, why?
Show so much patience and love
to those that hurt you?

10
Garden, lush with life
Flourish, living library
This planet, our home

11
If she had the chance
Forgiveness would not suffice
The things we’ve done
Would be quite difficult to
Understand, earth simply smiles

7*
Is the wind my friend?
Blow, blow! Bring me Seasons
And to others, death

97
Describe
One thing that
Love can’t fix

71
Do my eyes deceive?
Can what lies before me
Be so beautiful?

58
If I were an ant
I’d find a way to carry
All my love for you

39
I’d like to admit
The following: I love you
And I always will

14
Like, simply won’t do
To use, as, just won’t come close
Infinite love; is

12
What container is
Nearly the amount needed
To hold the patience
That is required to fully
Love unconditionally?

20
Gentle flower, shine!
Exude your musk upon me
Sprinkle, slowly, love

21
Brilliant, majestic
Fair friend, you offer loving
Light of life to all

23
Ferociously real
Your love is a wake up call
Why choose me, love, why?

3
Do you, rabbit, love?
In silence it stares at me
Secretly knowing

4
Her skin is warm tea
Gentle, always welcoming
In it I find peace

1*
Delicious as sleep
Without exception; love is
What all hunger for

In every rejection
In every missed call
In every promise not kept
In every lonely night he's had spent by himself
replaying events in head over and over and over

there is opportunity

Light does exist, despite its scarce amounts

He coughs
then spits out a combination of blood,
dirt and naive optimism
while closing his eyes
and fantasizes of how things "once were"

How? he wonders

How can something as delicate as a heart
remain intact  
if it's being continuously attacked by it's environment?
How can one soul maintain
its divinity in the midst
of so much lies and anguish?

He buries his face in his weathered hands one last time
wipes away any residual frustration from his eyes
and continues onward

I am stardust

Only with you for an instant
A brief flash and I'm gone

Leaving here
Will I?
Of course
And so will you

What you are in control of down here
Not much
Except of course.....
How will you be remembered

So why wait?

Get busy living or get busy dieing

I much prefer the sounds of piano concertos to that of nature
Rain, waterfalls, things like that
The whizzing and gyrating motion of notes
pushing silence out of the way is more my style

It always has been

My meticulous way of dealing with the world

It my way of pretending to have control

This ride, as real as it may seem, is exquisitely exhausting

So exhausting

Sunday evening
Around 5ish
The sun readies itself to set
a well earned rest after a long week

Very righteously earned

Right about the same time, the solitude that is now so
familiar to me begins to slowly tip-toe in my direction

It approaches me like a lion stalks a
wounded gazelle

slow at first

then it lunges and grasps onto my jugular

It bites down
HARD

It suffocates the life
the breath
the hard earned oxygen straight out of me
