As waves crash
over smooth
Steady surfaces
rocky shorelines
fragments of leaves,
twigs and twine
flowing backwards
Pulling, pushing
Like life
Uncontrollable
Flowing with waters
Crashing, floating, rushing
Breaking
Enduring
until it is swept away

Alone
a solemn
residing place

Lost in vast distracting
thoughts analyzing
Misplaced
Mistaken
Trying to stand

Along comes
True
Someone like you
Cemented

I long to grab hold
Smothering bodies
becoming
part of
your mold

Joined together
Painted in gold

They say
Curiosity killed the cat
But who are they anyways?
They
sure do say
A lot of things ...
I have been oh so curious
And I am still alive...
While I am neither cat nor
animal of any kind
I find that being curious
Is the only way to actually live...
For how can you discover
Anything
Without curiosity?

I don't mind the rain
Or opinions
Contentment within
Is protection
I understand
So I'll bring sun and shade
You can stand under my shelter
Rightly disposed
I'll  bring light into darkness
With perfect balance

I suppose I am not so broken
it is impossible for me to keep it
together

I could use gold to piece my heart together in a mosaic fashion

Then I can proudly display my masterpiece

I am still golden
I still have a heart of gold

Only
a much more delicate
Far more valuable
work of art

What would life be like
If there were no deadlines
No rush, no hurry
No waiting in line
No jammed up traffic
Or chaotic lunch hours
No frustrated looks
Everyone is smiling
Waving to say "hello!"
On their way to somewhere
They want to be

Imagine if you will
It begins with
A coral & blue sun rise

Slowly you stretch
Close behind
Is a warm cozy cuddle
Holding a hot cup of tea
A delicious home made breakfast with loved ones

Mid morning is spent
in your garden
Hands cultivating rich soil
Flowers greet your senses
Beauty catching your eye
from every angle
Satisfaction is all you feel
Knowing everything you need
Is there in your fruit trees
The ones you planted
In the garden beds
The ground provides everything
Without cost

It is mid day
A soak sounds nice
As long as you like
Hey, why not go for a hike?
To waterfalls
Or a river bed
Or climb a mountain side
Do whatever you want
Leave the country!
There are no boundaries

You won't grow old
Because you have eternity
Age does not exist
Unless we count the years
And there are no more tears
Because sin has disappeared

There's a million things to do
You're happy and healthy
You have day and night
There's joy in every thing
& no exhaustion in sight
What if
Everything I said
Is possible
What would you give up today?
What if there was only
One way
But that way
Is sometimes uncomfortable
Would that make you
Want to do what it takes?
Would that make you
Try to learn what might
Seem implausible?

Just so you know
I do not want to save you
In fact I can not.

You and I,
We can only save ourselves.
