We watch time fly out
our window sill
and yet we still
try to capture this moment
hold it
as if holding it
will keep it here""
but it sinks into the atmosphere
the moment you let go
and you must let go
because the flame that is smothered dies
and there will be no rise
from ashes, no cries for help
no morse code dots and dashes
there is no running
not now, not ever
and you don't need to be
the most strong
or the most clever
you just need to be you
because you are a miracle
in a world that is content
to let science explain everything
we don't need a flow chart
to know the heart
we need faith
not in gods or crosses
or wins and losses
but in our own reflection
not self correction
in us
we
are
all we are
and all we are is
the answer to a question
we have been asking ourselves
since the last time we felt lost
since our lullabies became embossed
on text books and bibles
since we were held liable
for the actions of generations past
we are not the last
but we can be the first
since the day we were cursed
with this desire to be more
in a society rotten to the core
and no amount of rhyming
or perfect
...
timing
will cure that,
we all have our own tin-foil hat,
but if someone is trying to read
your mind
think something worth a damn
stop trying to find meaning,
stop preening,
stop everything you are doing
and simply be.
I am no authority
on living a good life.
Grief and Suffering are my in-laws
because I married strife
but if you believe a single thing
that I ever say
believe that you are not stuck,
there is always another way.
