no, can't stop it
no way, no way out
blink and open
them, your
eyes to reveal
a world now turned
inside-out
reveal it, to close it, shut it
down down down
find comfort
don't drown
too far for the distance
here in open spaces
carry forth, yes, carry forth
your burdens
one day they will erase
for all time
let them drown
free at last
free yourself
it passes so fast
nothing ever lasts
one minute
holding a hand
the next you drown
in realistic tides
to surface once more
to catch a glance
efface the feelings
reaching out so far
soaked in emotion
caught in
undertow

Northern lights
Scrape the edge
In planetary surrender
Hold on if you dare

It's a magnificent globe
It spins and dances
Streaked in glimpses
Of burning light

Atmosphere's emeralds
Bloom in radiance
It's a moving painting
Frozen images remain

Pure radiance can only
Be dreamt up
In day dreams
And warmth and
Colors that surround

Truth was a breath
of cold November air
Escaping from her soft lips
Truth was warm
a breath of purpose
A spoken word
Tasting sweet nuance
A fresh, crisp blow
of season's new flair
Something so subtle
yet undoubtedly alive.

Visiting on a summer breeze
Knocking on the wooden door
Knowing I'll always answer
Carrying scents of salty seas and earthy flames
Dusk hazes your eyes while the stars keep you alight
Smile of a thousand suns
You ask me to stay
To hear the crickets play
Longer days are your symphony
The nights my delicate tapestry
Sitting on the horizon with me
My passing love
My sun among the skies
I'll shine bright in the night
Until you come to visit again
And we can enjoy the silence on the shores of the midnight sun.
