consider yourself..
lucky?
perhaps, to feel nothing
but elation. at any given
moment

then there's the rest
of us.
you know, the common--
real
humanity.

where tears salt
the food. make oceans
of our water glasses.

yes, its true.
while our tears may fall
and fall
fall
.

we.
unlike (lucky) you,
DOnot.

Above the muted earth
Lay the cosmos, the black and the quiet blinding spectrum which have yet to reach our dimension
The space above lays untouched, undisturbed, unexplored
For eons, inconceivable wonders have appeared
And disappeared
Never seen by the eye, but there
Yet, somehow the feeling of being there as us, them, and all
Exploded, rushed into being
By a tug of intuition perhaps, we came, we began
Even now, our sense of being is of the essence
What was before the universe turning as it does now
Is enigmatic
Whether white or impenetrable darkness, it will never be for sure
Yet, somehow, we continue on
Not knowing, we prove nothing to the stars

I stood flickering
momentary memories
disappearing.
skimming rapidly, then-
smashing with the wind
wobbling
the whole world hanging on a cliff.
as the crevice parted below
then
once
steadied
rising, I stood.

Every moment I stood here, in sandals
meant memories to last a life long…yes,
say that is all now: valued histories.
History is all that is now, then
existence being culminated by
the sum of only experiences. My
Sandals may be worn from wear, but my feet
Have only calloused. Ready, heat?

too often, the eye seeming to believe
every color; the ear each resonance.
when life fulfills the physical
promoted by propaganda, how one
acknowledges imagination  is a
heart: no pulse, lost within life. Death is that:
when only knowledge reigns supreme to soul
and mind: can hear, can see; but never whole

Should one believe happiness
is key to life
without ever finding
the door
where one’s spirit aches to be found

since i’ve found myself
in every emotions sharp grasp or gentle hold
not a moment passes
where the passion of life hasn’t escaped
from my mind’s value

how rewarded I have been
to see every aspect of heart,
after its essence has been spilled throughout my core
like the milky stars
into life’s deep creation

when i find myself missing
my thoughts lopsided
like a undone braid becomes after Running,
i close my eyes and see every nothing
and shout only silence to fill it with anything at all
pursuit of pressure,
clawing at me to choose,
constant tears draw a line to me in
the paths of potential pushed suddenly
so i only want to be in my present mind.
how can i discover without determining
where have I Run to now?
