Glimpse of hope
Through those washed eyes,
As I envisage us surfing
The roughest of tides,
A million waves crash,
Heavily into my chest,
Because I'm afraid
I'll drown in a sea
Of emotion because
You're the ocean,
And I'm just a stone.
Never say that you cannot
Always be willing to give it a try
Believe that you can
Continue on before the water runs dry
Take things one step at a time
You can rewrite history
The harder the battle may seem
The sweeter is the victory
Continue to do your thing
Work hard and stay on track
Move towards your mission
Forge ahead and do not look back
Be the epitome of excellence
Greatness is within you
Just master your craft
Always be the best at whatever you do

If you thought
That you could
Get away with it
Would you do it again?

Now look in the mirror
And tell your twin
You can only change
The things you can

So get out there and do it!
Before your life depends
...
Traveler Tim


All jokes about "depends"
Are welcome, this one deserves it.

In a rhyming
Commentary
Or simply in poem
Anyway to convey
Will you please
Come home
Never leave me
Never die
Lay with me
In an eternal lie
Hold me tighter
Then love can bear
Please come home
Oh thoughtless stare
...
Traveler Tim
Ever does he slumber
Put to sleep eons ago
By long dead gods

Realities surge and receed
As nothing more
Than his thoughtless dreams

Few within or without
These realities understand
The great being's power

And those that do
Have all but slipped
Into madness
Me-ig-maza

Zero Nine
You ever have one of those days
where you wake despite insight
that the pain of
familiar faces
accumulates til the paved walks
and dirt ways
save no blank spots?
Shame, shame falls down
my bare body to a blocked drain
past dye stains, as
all I do of late
is smoke **** and wash, ignore
the front door knocks.

Sad eyes
only see
Dull rainbows
What we see and how we perceive is affected, by how we feel.
