I see a Pyramid
In your Eyes

It contains Who
I used to Be

Did you ever
a dandelion pick,
blow each seed
and make a wish.

Was that wish,
a wish for wealth
or was that wish
a wish for health?

Or was that wish
a wish to see,
a field of gold
in front of thee.
Nature can be cruel
But beautiful too
The sea can be a demon
But beautiful too
The waves are endearing
But beautiful too
The sun can be so harsh
But beautiful too
The snow can freeze your nose and toes
But beautiful too
The rain can be a pain
But beautiful too
I was on a train from
Paris to Amsterdam
and with an empty page
a sad smile and a pen
she was looking out
the window across
the apple green fields and
into the valleys of cobbled
villages and ****** churches
and as the dead air of Paris
was leaving my mind
I began to read the reflection
of questions in her eyes
I wanted to tell her what
she already knew
that the answers are in
the rhythm of the rails
and to only underline
the words that matter ...
