Beautiful Tragedy
You fell for her spirit,
And the way her eyes lit up,
when you walked in the room.
You fell for the melody in her voice,
And the way her eyes danced,
when she laughed for you.
You fell for the way she played,
And the way her lips grew in a slow, sly smile when she was up to no good.
You fell for her beautiful tragedy,
And how she needed you to see her through, and it destroyed you.
And the way her eyes lit up,
when you walked in the room.
You fell for the melody in her voice,
And the way her eyes danced,
when she laughed for you.
You fell for the way she played,
And the way her lips grew in a slow, sly smile when she was up to no good.
You fell for her beautiful tragedy,
And how she needed you to see her through, and it destroyed you.

Who Are We?
What would you be doing if you could be doing exactly what you want to be doing?
Hold that and close your eyes.
Can you feel it around you?
This perfect existence that you see,
Does it make your heart swell and feel as if it is lifting from your chest?
Who do you see there?
Are they laughing and smiling with you?
Does their presence fill you with warmth, inside and out?
Now open your eyes.
Are you now smiling too?
And before all rational sets in,
Didn't it feel real?...
Hold that and close your eyes.
Can you feel it around you?
This perfect existence that you see,
Does it make your heart swell and feel as if it is lifting from your chest?
Who do you see there?
Are they laughing and smiling with you?
Does their presence fill you with warmth, inside and out?
Now open your eyes.
Are you now smiling too?
And before all rational sets in,
Didn't it feel real?...

I Was Here
But now I am gone...
I wish you would have found me,
But now I am lost.
I wish you would have found me,
But now I am lost.

How to Disarm the Bomb
It is possible to disarm the bomb
with a few words,
If you point your own missile
in a different direction,
Perhaps.
Even better,
give up on using missiles,
Let the bomb,
that inched closer to detonation,
Defuse.
I will not believe
people want to harm others,
They only want
to protect what is,
Theirs.
Peaceful retreat,
Saves more in the end,
than risking innocent lives
in front of the target,
Again.

Accepting the Offer
Simple.
The inevitable acceptance.
It is how it is.
It is how it should be.
What is lost, is gone.
What is left, is what should be.
Be happy.
Be content.
Be unsurprised.
Accept that you're already home.
The inevitable acceptance.
It is how it is.
It is how it should be.
What is lost, is gone.
What is left, is what should be.
Be happy.
Be content.
Be unsurprised.
Accept that you're already home.

Serenity
Being alone
is not a punishment,
It is a gift,
Especially in the woods.
I can take my time
to ponder & reflect,
sketch & photograph,
and journal as I please.
I don't have to make small chat
about people's lives,
I don't have to feel their emotions
and I don't have to share mine.
I am free,
Free to make my own adventure,
Free to discover my own magic,
Free to listen to stories told by the birds.

Point Blank
If it takes mind altering substances to become creative, you're not creative.
And you certainly aren't smart.
Ever wonder why you think you have "the most incredible ideas" and realizations when you're stoned out of your mind?
I bet you think you are walking into a forbidden portal that leads to higher levels of cognition?
No, you're not visiting another supernatural dimension, you're experiencing psychosis.
The real genius comes from being able to get creative and have "ah-hah" moments without taking a toke or a...

In a Heartbeat
How many heartbeats are in 2 years?
That's how many heartbeats I am
away from you,
That's how many heartbeats
I've missed you by my side,
How many since we embraced
in a long tearful goodbye,
That's how many I've wanted
to run back for you,
If only fate would let our paths cross
one more time,
It would only take one heartbeat to fall
back to you.
That's how many heartbeats I am
away from you,
That's how many heartbeats
I've missed you by my side,
How many since we embraced
in a long tearful goodbye,
That's how many I've wanted
to run back for you,
If only fate would let our paths cross
one more time,
It would only take one heartbeat to fall
back to you.

Just Out of Reach
It's getting harder
to remember your laughter,
It is leaving me.
to remember your laughter,
It is leaving me.

Carried by the Wind
The wind whispers
of the song we used to sing.
The trees dance around me,
at her command,
but I am alone in the woods now.
I listen to the soft whimpers
of hidden chipmunks
and feel their lonely calls
in my own heart.
Ripples grow
from tiny raindrops on the lake,
and I think of how things came to be,
once so small.
I know we were meant to fly ...
of the song we used to sing.
The trees dance around me,
at her command,
but I am alone in the woods now.
I listen to the soft whimpers
of hidden chipmunks
and feel their lonely calls
in my own heart.
Ripples grow
from tiny raindrops on the lake,
and I think of how things came to be,
once so small.
I know we were meant to fly ...

Tiny Flames
Candles.
Watch them, the way they light up a dark room with a single tiny flame.
They hold so much power.
One little flame can cause destruction and chaos, healing and life.
It has torn through great civilizations, leaving only ashes in its wake.
One tiny flame can light your way in a dark cave, bouncing off the water-chiseled walls, as if sharing the same properties of the echo coming back.
It is enchanting enough to bring moths to their death.
And magical enough to rebound...

Venting: THERE IS NO PLANET B (not really poetry)
The house is on fire,
That is how Greta Thunberg put it.
What the hell are you doing about it?
How much plastic do you use?
How much meat do you eat?
How much waste do you make?
How much do you drive?
How toxic is your older car?
How much time do you spend appreciating nature?
How much time do you spend teaching the youth and rebelling against the older generations?
