hey!
you
there
in the dark
come into the light
i cannot see you
is that you
baring your teeth at me
or are you grinning
at my
unknowingness
that's it
don't be shy
it's just the glare
cascading off the reflection
of the wading pool
shining back
at you
at me
at us
together
in this
darkness
but
if we come into the light
we can dance
ripple the water
& change the tide
until it
no longer knows
where you begin
& i end

Just a mere vagabond I call myself
Every stream I reside into changes current in my fall
There are no parts to me
I'm just around, everywhere
And someone to me somewhere
Often I wonder when I'll flow in the same stream again?
And as I get lost in the one I'm in
I'll be running to another creek yet again
Cloistered I am yet I choose where I move
Oh such a *********
Who laments but seldom improves
Strongest they call me
For they know one day I'll swallow them too
Wise I call myself too
Though I know I'm a fool
Who feigns death under the thunderstorm
But saves the selfish believing no blade of theirs can dare cut me.
