The paper knows
And the pen understands
That the mind is a soldier
But the heart has courage
When hellos are beginnings
But so are goodbyes
When people appear in our lives
To fall in love or break our hearts
Like sunshine lost in overcast skies.

some people you can’t say no to
they beg to see the parts of you
the parts that you had hidden away
and you give in
show them you are not who they thought
and then they are gone
because
all the people you can’t say no to
know how say goodbye so much faster

The rose
I love
in any pose

Zen
no reasoning
it dislikes
thinking

The ascent
is the descent

The Zen way
silence makes the day

The yawning
it's time
for sleeping
