Something Simple May 2014
I wander in the sunspots
On the bank of the river
Visit the place where I felt sure
The green one sat last night

Wanted to go to her then
Forest had other plans then
So I learned solitude
Separated it from loneliness
Uncrowded all alone

Clear your head some for going home

Off Again
Something Simple May 2014
Time changes around and around
Now every sound is feet hitting the ground
Over the mountain and over sea

Trace the pavement curves to age old destinations
To the ducks, up the road
No telling where we go
Three hearts beat the same as one

They are dogs and I am man
Everything, Everything
Honi-Honi the sleek and the dark
Relentless as a hurricane and the height of a jump
Noni the old and the brown and the small
Strong as a tank with the spirit of a lion

All the theories and words
All the ideas and verse
Pounding my head
Going where my feet have tread
Everything, everything that I am
Fades when the walking ends
When the walking ends.

Glory Be
Something Simple May 2014
Wet on the outside with glory to the rain
Sky is grey and foggy with the mountains gone again
I still breathe it in

Exalt the puff of air and the sound of rain on high
Stay sitting in the inside while the rain goes on outside
The rain will pass us by

In the forest it rains too
Mushroom's are god's umbrellas
Deer are staying dry
But not I

Outside in the thick of it
The world will pass me by
But this moment is mine

Deliberations
Something Simple May 2014
Stay silent or speak,
Glide past everything
Or get
Stuck with stigma
Over originality

Keep silent and observe
Or
Jump in
Get stuck in a fire storm.

Two friends,
Past arguments.
Stress I don’t need.

Maybe I’m a coward.
I see both possible sides,
Always surprised
How vicious people
Get over simple things.

Make changes,
Compromise,
Behave like adults.
Don’t ruin this for more people.
Please.

Not jumping in the tide
will not acknowledge these things
probably never will.

Beauty
Something Simple Apr 2014
You've all found it haven't you?
Out there.
Where ever you go when those eyes close?

And I toil in the mud and soil
Nothing but murky water
Over here…
Alone.

You've all found it haven't you?
Out there.
Where you go when those eyes close?

Sometimes you get tired
Staring at the world with eyes open wide
The more you see….
Alone.

You've all found it haven't you?
Out there.
Where ever you go when those eyes close?

Can you tell me?
How to get there?
Where ever you go?
Cause one day those eyes
won't open again.
Gone for good,
Alone.

You've all found it.
Out there.
Alone.

Becoming
Something Simple Apr 2014
You’ll become what I remember
Remember, Remember, Remember
You’ll become what I knew
Knew, Knew, Knew, Knew
You’ll become what I ran from
Ran, Ran, Ran
You’ll become a nightmare
Nightmare, Nightmare, Nightmare

You remind me of what I remember
I remember, I remember, I remember
Remind me of what I knew
What I knew, What I knew, What I knew
Remind me of what will become
Will become, Will become, Will become
Remind me patterns repeat themselves
Repeating patterns, Repeating patterns

You don’t know what I fear
But you scare me now

Understood
Something Simple Mar 2014
Stood at the brink of a cliff, morning air surround and fill.
Make me feel small again. I’m too big, too big inside my skin.

The ocean is just an end. Dead end, Dark end.
Deeper than despair and just as feared,
Last breaths and friendships.
All are ends.

I’m never ready so,
Take me to the sky.

— The End —
