Smooth Sailing

He gave without asking for anything
I gave what I could
He gave more
I gave more
I stopped for a moment
He continued giving 
He kept giving
He never stopped giving
The last wall came down
I gave
I gave

And then it was smooth sailing-
Simple and fulfilling

Stays

I want it to
 Doesn’t happen
Escape me
 Still remains
Vanish the root
 Holding tight

I ask yet
 Leading astray
Silence as the answer
 Hides behind
Kicks me into
 Won’t come forward
An angry dust
 Maybe laughing
Cannot continue
 Behind dark curtain
Speaking untruth

I want it to
 Doesn’t happen
Escape me
 Still remains
Destroy the
 Holding tight

Blackened soot
