#overgrown
I dreamt of our house, which doesn't exist... I'll light a candle in it and greet the dawn. I'll feel sad by candlelight. I'll be missed. I want you'll be near me in our house for long! I'll walk into the garden, which doesn't exist... I'll pick white camomiles and make a bunch. I'll put it on the table. It'll be my feast. Just fly into my dream! I please you much! We'll stroll in a forest, which doesn't exist... I'll mass there an armfull of autumn leaves. I'll throw them into the sky. They'll be a mist. And they'll be falling slowly under the breeze. I dreamt of our house. And maybe is it? It's somewhere over the hill, green all. The garden is so very overgrown. I'll revive it. I'll light the candle for you to come for all.

I dreamt of our house...
# In awe of nature high on its vigor Shadows dancing through dark forests of my mind thunder breaks open the sky lightning pours down from the heavens with relieving sigh I am struck down by creational forces the only god I need cause she is none Nature won't bow there's no need just go run with its wild horses Stop fearing what was yours from the day you were put in this earth just like a seed All is one I am one and I am all I feel the storm raging on Inside me and all around Hold onto the winds for I am bound to this chance of living and I am not afraid of what nature is giving This macrocosm this moving world the ground on which I'm standing There's nothing in pain no being can harm you all will be overgrown all enemies will eventually be slain There's no need to hide your darkness or your light No, I promise, I won't I won't be terrified #

The only savior I need
The green field I used to frolic and play Now shrouded in darken clouds greyed With soil planted with nothing but graves Vine and stone tablets with epitaphs engraved

Once Full of Life
Today I got my license and this year also marks the 4th year without either of you When I was practicing I drove by your house The house I called a Home for 3 years of my life It was in shambles The vines I knew that would cause trouble have overgrown and blocked the stairs up into the house The grass is overgrown and Mother nature is taking back what once was hers I saw his truck parked in its usual spot but there was a hole where her car should be Tears pricked at my eyes to see the house I called my second home to be like this Overgrown and forgotten by the family that once lived there You tried to keep me in your life even when your daughter tried to throw me away Because to you I was never your daughter's friend but I was a family member from a different family I wish I could show you my achievments Hear your voice again I wish I could go back in time to when I was happy with just laying around and not having to worry about life

Today
He has grown vines all over his body from old age and wisdom

Like an Old Brick House
All along the mud streaked bank Gracious trees stand high They know nought of human things Though we live so so nearby A breeze catches in the dangling fronds Whispers escape the leaves For nearby fallen detritus The living green leaf grieves A swallow darts to dodge the dusk Defeated, closes her eyes A couple close embracing look About them at demise The park is much forgotten, oh, The gardener lives nigh But at the volume of the work Lets out a weary sigh.

Whispering willows
i want to come visit you when the weather gets warm, when the garden is green. i want you to come see me when you're not busy. i don't want to interrupt but i can't be alone when i am overgrown. i know i'm sometimes verbose and ugly and clingy and mean but maybe you can see past that and we can whisper in the back of a car, or dance behind a screen and bathe in the summer sun. i just want you to know that i'm always going to be here. i won't do what i've wanted so that i don't hurt you. i will not desert you. cause i don't want to go that much. i don't want to miss your touch. i know my past has been hard and i haven't always been glad a lot of my time has been spent being sad. but i'm getting better every day. so i'll let you come visit me when the weather gets warm, when the garden gets green. and i'll be waiting because i can wait as long as it takes. i'm getting better every day.
