Remember the Snow Before it Melts
remember the snow before it melts
for I am a flower
that’s here for the spring
then gone with the gust
of an autumn breeze
remember that feeling
of losing a memory
to the void of the past
that we’re good at forgetting
so hold onto me
for the time I am living
before the present finds you
and there’s no more February
snow only lasts
for the time it is given
that’s why it’s a gift
not all can receive it
so hold onto me
before I am done
can you see the snow melting?
can you feel...
for I am a flower

as I sit
in my four cornered room"
deep within my mind,
I'm marooned
only to soon see
everything around
is me to a certain degree if I observe and explore the energy evolving eternally through the inner me and you
which is one in the same,
same souls playing different games
but the controls don't change
and the system stays the same
while we run free range still feeling enslaved to the day and those who say we gotta follow their ways or
pay the price for stepping out of line on
"their" time which ironically is ALL TIME, ...

Reflections of A Child
A picture's worth a thousand words
And actions are described by verbs
Can you see what this pic reveals
It reminds me of childhood thrills
It unveils the carefree days of a child
Before exposure to the savage & wild
When dreams ascended beyond the stars
When it wasn't farfetched to fly to Mars
Before scars of varying degrees of healing
Oh how I miss that wonderful feeling
Before dealing with responsibility daily
When still cherished as momma's baby
Unfortunately those days have come and gone
Now...

Grey
What is it
what does it mean
what can I glean
from this color I feel
Like this concrete sky
always pressing down
my leaden mood
a drab curtain descending
Despite so many shades
far away glades
full of hues
to fill this palette
Yet all see
now
so colors my life
like an old time movie
Projected like shadow
hint of my darker side
willing to abide
for the time being
what does it mean
what can I glean
from this color I feel
Like this concrete sky
always pressing down
my leaden mood
a drab curtain descending
Despite so many shades
far away glades
full of hues

so colors my life

Projected like shadow

That One Lonely Whisper
Here
We go again
Apathy spreads
Like a dark blanket
Untying
Me from sanity
Sinking
Further into darkness
It’s like quicksand
Slowly shrinking from the world
Broken logic
No longer protects
The bloody mind
Hits out again
Thoughts of paranoia
Become more
The voices of reason
In an upside down world
Everything
That’s tangled
Is unravelling
Wild eyes see more clearly
Insanity
Has a new...

Awakening
An awakening lasting always.
A precious process, a specific, unplanned path put in place by you and you only,
own the aloneness, melt in the moment
the zone in which you've been shown is sublime in its own special way and forever void of time within thy mind but it's only a trip basically, totally temporary as at some point you transcend everything entirely not an escape but more of an enhancement if anything.

Forming
Infinitely forming,
eternally formless..
forever fading in and out
trying to see what it's all about
as you come to realize
you know less and less about consciousness and the mysteriousness,
too much to meditate on,
I only know now
the mundanity is gone
cause it's all masterful and special,
each species
each section
each soul
each situation despite frustration and fear stemming from alienation.
Changing forever,
no final form to be aquired,
no rules required if one aspires
to reach much higher
than...
eternally formless..

Out of Sight
Out of sight, down the stairs, and slightly to the left.
If I don't look at it, it for sure doesn't exist.
When I am alone long enough, I forget I am not alone in the world.
Can you prove to me your own existence, if I can't remember you?
Are these feet mine when they sit under covers?
Are there legs mine when they hide under desks?
I forget your name, your face, your age.
Such a shame, to be so out of mind.
If I don't look at it, it for sure doesn't exist.
When I am alone long enough, I forget I am not alone in the world.
Can you prove to me your own existence, if I can't remember you?
Are these feet mine when they sit under covers?
Are there legs mine when they hide under desks?
I forget your name, your face, your age.
Such a shame, to be so out of mind.

The Long Road Home
I run my old Ford
on this asphalt treadmill
thoughts wander beyond
passing run-down towns
places made of nothing
in the middle of nowhere
lush, velvety forests
leaves scraping the sky
the perfect hiding place
for shy mountains
the stories they’d tell
the wisdom they’d spill
but their mysteries
barely register as I stare
through my dusty,
bug-splattered windshield
I kept the moon company
until her lover returned
holding behind his back
a glorious bouquet
of orange-pink...

Ellipsis
Only red is left
I've lost my breath
I wish my head
Was in the oven
I've lost my breath
I wish my head

Crisis,
everyone hooked on devices
mankind's not the nicest
we're not as wise as we advertise
when pressed we're not unstressed..
We all struggle
uniquely suffering
still, praise the people
and props to them
for taking a chance to make an enhancement,
we're learning to lean alone against the judgment we're shown..
As we grow slowly
getting old
more dark dreams grab a hold of our soul..
Remember back when we had no conception of "I"?
Now we only dodge deceptions and lies..
And as the silence swells ...
