All Is Ok

whenever the mood is right and the air somehow hugs
something inside asks to stop and breathe in the moment's light
all slows down and begins to shine and all in nature reaches toward the sun
in that frame of time you can begin to smile and find a new dial

everything is fine the way it is now
all the little "if's and but's" just need a place to sit down
they are hungry sometimes
and they need to feel alive
only trouble with them
they suck the life out of every cell

whenever you can
see the brightness of day
nothing lasts for too long
all is ok in the midst of mind's panic call

Break Down and Sing

just take me wherever you need me to be
and squeeze out the best that I have in me
and soften the edges that are yet to be freed
and don't let me wait until I can see

I need you to take this shaking hand
I ask that you lead through the darkness ahead
I hope you can see past the mistakes made
I am learning the meaning of the word 'had'

show me the steps to be followed
give me the worlds to be swallowed
break down the walls erected way back when
let the presence be singing once again

Pure

diving deep
eyes closed
wanting to see
only hope
deceiving yourself
choosing not to know
hungry needs
obstructing the flow
longing to hold
the tiniest glow
disappear into the dark
and walk out white, pure like snow

Let It Melt

words and words and more useless words
twirling inside in circles and ovals
returning like clouds on a rainy day
never wanting to leave the warm bed

nothing new arises from them
same old patterns recreating themselves
what's left to do is empty the bin
sit very quietly and let it all melt

Cycles

every evening sun goes down
every night a chirping sound
every creature has its life
every heart beats day and night

loud and clear smiles are near
children's laughter is so dear
walking on grass of green and dust
feeling the earth beneath wanderlust

quiet and serene the evening feels
daytime has gone and went to sleep
with open eyes the winter comes
every day a new cycle starts

Unfinished

just want to open the page and see the words paint themselves
nothing to add of any wisdom as this life's journey seems so distant
and still i walk and then i crawl and scream in silence, hoping it's heard
to break away from all the chains that keep the dark veil fall like hail
putting one foot in front of other and looking up when clouds are parting
hope never dies, it's always ready to pull you out of your mind's wail
