when it is still, it reflects
the baby blue sky above

the waves, each sparkle
with the light brown
Coconut toffee made by locals

muddy and Overgrown, it is
the beautiful home of
Wild pythons, chicken, and rooster

Rice Popping, snake wine
fermenting, hot black sand

wood boats of Green and
Brown with Red eyes that
lead the way across the
water to the Floating Markets

Arriving in Japan
the clouds were
Sparse and peaceful,
all resting on the
invisible flat barrier
that divides earthy
from divine,

The sun set in
a deep orange glow,
changing the white
peaceful clouds to
powerful black shadows,
Behind the vista of Tokyo city
lay a pristine,
lone peak,
one that evokes
a specific wonder
in the simple form
of Triangle

"WE CAST THIS MESSAGE INTO THE COSMOS..."
-President Jimmy Carter

speak in the way that we do
and show them the way we see
how we hear sounds
in the time that we hear them
and let them tell our story forever



maybe we'll be known forever,
the lonely and confused mankind,
who lives through the highest pursuit of joy
with colors
pictures
sounds
movements
buildings
machines
and survival,
or maybe our Earth is a story that will never be told,
ours to enjoy in any way we can,
only for the reason that we are here,
and we are alive

There is an ocean within me,
the tide comes in
and draws back out,
it knows no boundaries
yet graces thousands of beaches,
it stirs
and it is calm,
some fear it
some embrace its shores
few are sailors,
at night it is black
it is deep,
at dawn it is grey
it is cloudy,
at noon
it is blue
it is green
it is clear

All you need is love
Love, anyone can produce
Its easy

pull up
cool
crisp
leaf blade fan

hold
hot air balloon
rising red sea
salty, hot

let out
gentle sun
toes in sand
erased white board

I

to get rid
Of my

Open My

once there is no Try
nor - I
will Fly
