"revaluate" poems
*Under a willow tree,
alone there I lay.
Beneath the setting sun,
across the shallow bay.
My routine is profound,
repeated the next day;
it's how I escape,
makes troubles go away.
As my thoughts unwind,
nothing meant to say,
I revaluate my life,
upon sunset of May.
Forever resting my head,
watching Sun's blinking rays,
nothing shall wake me,
falling into a daze.
Dreams of faded peace,
begin to make way.
Pearching upon a rock,
rests a beautiful jay.
Then the white bird,
lovely as it may,
turns a frightening color,
one of dark-gray.
Once shallow water ahead,
starts crashing green waves.
Sunset turns to night,
grass turns to clay.
Abruptly, I finally wake,
confusion starts to play.
Under a willow tree,
alone there I lay.*

Nothing.
Simply the faintest whisper of electricity buzzing throughout the walls.
Nothing.
Merely the wooden floors cracking, acting out timidly and discreetly, with no effort needed, causing the complication to disperse up and away.
Nothing.
Purely the pitter-patter of rain outside my window, gliding across the gutters, dripping softly one by one onto the scattered pebbles.
Nothing.
Just the sound of crickets singing delightfully, lighting up the thick, dark, opaque night that melts itself across the village.
Nothing.
Only the rhythm of my breath, inhaling and exhaling at a steady and profound pace.
Nothing.
Only the few combinations of sounds that make up the definition of silence. Silence that spreads throughout the room like warm honey, dripping from a tipped jar. Silence that brings peace within. Silence that allows you to think and revaluate. The silence that cures all problems.

What do you think I'm going to do,
How do you think i'm going to feel,
I feel like I can't live without you,
I think about you most days,
And care one others shouldn't
But I think we need space,
To think and revaluate,
Before the friendship gets torn in two.

A moment awake I move in
consciously processing the surroundings.
Emotions expand to capture my true feelings.
Footsteps move to carry me to many of doorway.
A moment asleep I drift in
subconsciously traveling to places unknown.
Emotions still expand to fill a dreamscape reality.
Footsteps guided by beating heart move me in realm timeless.
Moments build until my sand hourglass must be turned
to revaluate and begin again in the game of Earth bound life.

That moment when a gesture
heralds the thought of contemplation
and you revaluate your attention.
no longer do you feel sullen within,
knocking on the doors buried thoughts.
for one single action can create ripples
upon the deliberation of what we,
l have to be thankful for with a single action .

I’m still running on
Yesterday’s priorities;
Seeking prizes that,
If I only I took the time
To think things through,
Revaluate my situation Properly,
Don’t really matter to me anymore.
I’m still caught up in the
Want of yesterday,
Driven by desires
Well past their sell by Date.
The insignificance of Bygone yearnings
Haunt my todays
Until I exorcize them
Screaming
Into faded memory,
File them away
Marked ‘Insignificant’,
‘No longer useful’.
