No image you create of me,
no verse you shape in my name
can ever hold what I truly am.
I live beyond your colors,
beyond the reach of your words.
Climb as high as your mind can rise-
still, I stand above that peak.
Leave aside the noise of speech,
close the pages of your books.
Come sit in silence instead-
for I myself am the scripture
you were meant to read!!
Work From:
To Her Who Already Knows .

For what river truly cries — when it drowns in its own tears?
What walls speak for themselves, too busy listening to your
gossip to hold any secret of their own.
What gospel is worth quoting, when you recite only the lines
you prefer, picking faith like fruit, discarding the bitter parts?
Versions of reason, disgusted, and all collected in an old jar
sunk to the bottom of a restless sea — for if a river weeps too
long, it swells beyond itself, becoming another ocean too vast
to contain.
Walls that bend to every word you say will crumble under a
single honest breath, and quietly falling like forgotten prayers,
For when scripture just becomes a mere script; should I even
wonder why so many of us perform the cold act of believing
without believing at all — we're all so good at acting.

Someday I’ll feel at ease
I’ll be happy where I’m at
Doing what I’m doing
I'll be done searching for who I am
For who I should be
Or who others think I should be
A place outside of my own head
And into my heart

Oh mind! Don’t let me forget thee!
Not the innocence of your laugh,
Nor the smile that causes my own.
Oh mind! Don’t let me forget thee!
Not the way you seem to need me
So that I never feel alone.
Oh mind! Don’t let me forget thee!
Joyous melody of your voice,
Electricity in your eyes.
Oh mind! Don’t let me forget thee!
No, not your magnificent quirks,
Not your exasperated cries.
Oh mind! Don’t let me forget thee!
Not even long past memories,
Of the time with you I’ve gotten.
Oh mind! Don’t let me forget thee!
All that’s left is you in my head,
My heart’s already forgotten.
