The sky twirling at bay,
Melodies of summer in May,
Heat stroking farther, forever
In this oblivious weather,
The wind flies high,
Darkness regretted, Light calls,
To enervate the recreated world,
The maze of life,
Is regrettable,
Unforgettable.
But as summer calls,
So do the loving and dead,
And, thus,
The unforgettable becomes forgettable.

you told me
actions speak
louder than words,
now i hear more
in your silence
than you were ever
able to tell me aloud.
- i guess ignorance is bliss.

blue cranes
copper-drizzled lizards
skies of cherry-red
opalite and tangerine

and great forests
that drip honey-jewels

lavender birds
that float on a
sage-dream breeze

summerdaze
wraps us up
in sheets of air  
and pillows of dreams
warm and soft and still...
in a perfect world

we live on a planet that is
thirsty for love
but we greedily bruise
her soft skin
we can try to heal the world with words
heal her weeping wounds

in this angular evening
all edges and corners  
money
lashings of flattery
and scarlet-dripped trickery
strangle our love
just another fleeting thought
People are like wolves
Our packs are our families and friends
Once we have them our whole world evolves
With our pack we can almost anything and take on the worst of fiends
With our friends and family we can do anything
Here I stand
Wondering when my mind
Was shaped by all these lies
That carried me this far

Here I stand
How did I get here?
It wasn’t my own feet
That carried me this far

But it’s my hand
Can reach out,
Its my voice,
Can speak up,
It’s my feet
That can stand

Here I stand
Prejudice in hand
Ready to let go
And walk into this fire

Here I stand
Humbly armed with love
Can you forgive us?
We’re walking into fire

Here I stand
Swathed in all your tears
Appalled by all these years
Let’s walk into the fire

Understand
I will never
Understand
I could never
Understand!
But I stand
...
with you

On the outside

I can't breathe
Give me air
Please

I look fine

I can't feel
My fingers are frozen
Please

But I'm not

I can't see
My retinas burn
Please

Set me free
