It's Time

many days and years have passed
many moons and sun phases have gone by
largely unknown to this blinking eye
world keeps changing to the beat of its own drum

knowing how spiders can make their web
experiencing breeze, holding a big embrace
sitting quiet with a feeling of a happy face
wanting to speak nothing amid the world's maze

we cannot know the end of the line
we cannot comprehend the beyond
we cannot imagine that which can be
we can only be wise enough to see

that our senses are tiny
that our minds are corrupt
that our hearts have shut down
that our hands have closed up

that we feel a bit frightened
that we want to protect
that all we really desire
is truth and a steady hand 

and when it appears
it is wise that we reach
for the help being offered
without fight or a kick

because many days and years
have already gone by
because many moons and phases
have passed before our eyes
because we don't have a forever
to wait in dark night
because it's time we decided
we are ready to shine

Seed of the Soul

lines
sketching
across
the page
images
formed
in recesses
of the brain

words
are paints
of various
strength
jumping
right out
without
hesitation

expression
comes
freely
sometimes
without goal
just wanting
to spread
the seed
of the soul

from here to
there and
all across 
land
the stalks
of innocence
rise to see
the day
happily
moving
with breeze
and the bees
look
at the
opportunity
to laugh and
to feel

and joyfully
be

Somewhere Inside

Well, I wake up and stretch my body and do a dance with the divine
And then I drive to see a woman who longs to dance but doesn't know how
I spin around and do what's needed without wanting to be thanked
And yet there is no way of escaping which seems to shine without effort
She holds me dear in her warm body and keeps me hanging on for long
Because somewhere inside she knows, there is something more to know

I have been taught how to live fully and I have learned to listen well
And when I do, there is no stopping to what I am capable to handle
It isn't said like I am bragging, because I know all too well
The road ahead is very windy and many boulders line the way
And yet the eyes can't hide the freedom that lies beneath the fear and greed
That's why I long to keep on giving to end the cycle of building me

I woke up and stretched my body and danced a little with the divine
I drove to see the pretty woman to break myself of my own lies
I spun around and did the work to make the project come to life
Because somewhere inside I know, my work has only just begun

Willing to See

Please pay attention
To the tricks of your mind
You keep celebrating
The mess you have become
Remember the unfolding
As it actually is
Don't make an excuse
For your inadequacies
Looking to know what made you this way
Takes away from the issues at hand
It is ok to admit you don't know
It is ok to cry when you're hurting
Please pay attention 
To the tricks of your mind
Don't celebrate
The mess that you are
Keep on desiring 
To go past the wall
That has imprisoned you for much too long
It is a lonesome road, indeed
Sweetness awaits you
If you're willing to see
There you can rest
There, it is easy to live

Good Night

Good night, people of the world
Good night, insects and the bees
Hope you find your covers ready
To envelop you in your sweetest reverie

May you find your pillow comfy
May your find your perfect spot
May you smile as you are falling
To a state of being not

Turn your fire into coolness
Turn your fear into a dance
Turn your head in the direction
To take you far away from fake

Good night, children of the parents
Good night, birds and trees and mice
Hope you can express your wisdom
In the things that make up life

Privilege Yet To Be

The privilege of life
Bursts forth on the mat
Fire is growing bright
Body feeling light
Reaching up and high
Pressing the anchor down
Smile overtakes face
Tears of joy surface
Gratefully rising from floor
Leaping into tomorrow's world
Impatiently waiting to see
The privilege of life yet to be

Oh!

Oh how I love thee
Oh how I long
Oh how I want thee
To know the core

I am so impatient
I am so impassioned
I am so pleasured
To take your warm hand

Cannot wait to sit you
Cannot wait to place you
Cannot wait to show you
Another way

The grandeur of life
The grandeur of breath
The grandeur of knowing
That stillness awaits

Oh walk into me
Oh walk beside me
Oh walk eyeing me until
Very slowly 
You dissolve your heartbeat
And I 
Very hastily 
Will follow thee

Stupid Past

Stupid wife
In this beautiful life
Sharp knife
In this unskilled fight
Silly lies
In the dark aisles
Spun around
Left upside down
Dotted the "i"
With one last sigh
Closed the door
Set the foot forth
Onwardly motion
Fueled by emotion
Into the night
Into the light
Into new arms
And out of the past

Both Cheeks

nope, not here
wait, almost it
stopping and going
tear down the cheek

looking, not seeing
many things bleak
open the window
and tears down the cheek

depth, not darkness
calling, pulling in
wheels are spinning
with tears down both cheeks

Rhymes, dreams, and floats

Rhyming is easy
Rhyming is fun
Rhymes can come quickly
Or take a lifetime

Dreaming is easy
Dreaming is fun
Dreams can come quickly
Or take a lifetime

Soaring up high
To the deepest blue sky
Training is longer
Than one short lifetime

Dreaming in rhymes
Soaring to dare
Living this life
With the utmost flare

Care and dare
Share and be fair
Dig tooth and nail
Be free and be bare
Leaving the known
To rest in peace
Jump to cold river and float 
To destination mystical bliss

There, cannot be amiss

Props

If I were to drive into the end
How long would it take for the pedal to break
Can I see the road enough ahead
To see the wisdom that hides instead

The cover's opaque and thick like the cloud
Only right now is seen with a lot of challenge
Three steps forward with wind in my sails
I just put head down and coat my nails

Whatever you want I will gladly be that
Just take this small hand and put light in this eye
The view is not as big as it can and should be
My being calls for the moon, the stars, and grand ecstasy

Send me a prop or two. Ok, maybe three

Today

sitting
dreaming
biting
time

patiently
eagerly
wanting
to rise

looking
observing
probing
with tricks

drawing
pulling
enticing
your speech

once and
for all
give do
not hold
lift this
old weight
diffuse its
defense

softly
slowly
gently
break

take
this cocoon
apart
time to
evanesce

today

Catch A Star

Falling, shining, shooting star
How I hope you hit my heart
Twirling, swirling, circling near
When will you appear, my dear
Waiting and waiting and waiting some more
Only projection is seen and that is all
Near the ground and in the smallest thistle
Can only be found by the quietest of whistles
Falling and shining and shooting through sky
Melting with warmth from the burning red star
Twirling and swirling and circling in spheres
Land in my lap and drop all your fears

One Desire

Writing all hours in day and at night
Gentle reminders keep the words alive
Looking for ways to capture the moment
Always evolving and never conforming

Drama of mind plays various games
Keeping a vigil to not become its prey
Looking beyond the first illusions
Staying right here with future visions

Placing one foot in front of the other
Closing the eyes to the boring chatter
Hearing the wind through the green of trees
Desiring to give what's inside endlessly

Final Fall

Don't really know how to see the intelligence in the blade of grass
In the stamp of innocence
Don't really know how to see all the joy in the crawling ant
In the music's score

Don't really know how to find hidden meaning in the fall of the rain
In the hand that keeps giving
Don't really know how to find good advice in the cover of the night
In the touch of your heart

Walking with care over rocks and small creatures
Walking on air would be the point worth reaching
Seeing the real and the colors unfold
Walking and walking until the final fall, with devotion,
Into intelligence
Into innocence
Into joy
And, hungrily, into ultimate emptiness

See You

Tears in my heart

Softness in my eyes

Seeing you in sweetness

Open like existence

Want to hold you near

Now and much later

I just see the kindness

Pouring out with madness

Would like to protect you

From the cold of winter

Would like to support you

Anytime you need me

Want to tell the world

To keep its claws curled

All I see is your divinity

Through my eyes of endless possibility
