where there is pain
there is compassion-
catch all my tears
within your warmly loving embrace.

I just followed her flow
until I crashed into a wave;
then I'd float to the beach
til the sea went calm.

I understand the hardships,
yet declare
our humanity's feelings
of joy should
be shared and sought.

Grief is a friend when
in the weightlessness
of its next todays and better tomorrows.

Slipping notes of depression
to a dear teacher
but laughing
by the end of class.

The substance of that in which
you read, and how you read it,
is your filter unto the sightly world

my lotus lily
had shown me windswept
pedals of love mes
and love me nots.

i'd break every lucid dream
by jumping out of nearby windows
or flying in exciting backwards spirals.
