Fleeting Moments
So fleeting,
life is a journey
we travel,
each day,
a more precise
picture,
moments that will
define us,
moments that
are swept away
with the current
of our yesterdays,
only the memories
may drift back
through the heart,
each ripple
may in turn
touch another
soul.
We may be looking
for answers,
but are we asking
the right questions?

Were You a Success?
Your time is done
The hour is late
Soon you'll discover
If an afterlife awaits
But before your last breath
You need ask yourself
"Were you a success?"
Did you give more than take?
Was your love brighter,
Than your hate?
Were you tolerant
And did you respect
Those of different
Lifestyles and habits?
Did those who loved you
Benefit from your existence,
Or were their lives impeded
And troubled because of it?
Did you plant a tree
And sow...

Thunder
Thunder, thunder burning bright.
Neon forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye
could perform this design
What furnace forged the chain
and made you forget your name
What hammer hit the nail
that made you lose your brain
Thinking it is always the same
Thoughts of hope
Thoughts of pain
Thoughts smooth as pale blue skies
Thoughts are dripping through your brain.
Neon forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye
could perform this design
What furnace forged the chain
and made you forget your name
What hammer hit the nail
that made you lose your brain
Thinking it is always the same
Thoughts of hope
Thoughts of pain
Thoughts smooth as pale blue skies
Thoughts are dripping through your brain.

What If
What if
none of this is real?
What if
we are someone's dreams.
What if
we are someone's nightmares?
none of this is real?
What if
we are someone's dreams.
What if
we are someone's nightmares?

Have Faith
Things go wrong, that’s part of life,
There will be aggravation and plenty of strife.
Time’s of hardship coupled with pain,
And days that the sunshine is covered by rain.
No one said that things would go your way,
You’ll just have to live day by day.
Place your trust in Heaven above,
Through good times and bad, you’ll have God’s love.
For God is there both night and day,
He’s with you at both work and play.
He’ll be your sunshine in the rain,
And He’ll be your comfort in your pain.
Though doubt and...

Think of You
I’m alive, what a weird thing that is
Wonder why I have to experience things tragic
Don’t remember ever asking “can you see if I can manage?”
Or being asked to struggle through the pain and the damage
Guess I’m here regardless so I guess I’ll do my best
Guess the only way to live is see this as a test
Guess I could compare my thoughts to others’ of success
Guess I best prepare myself for when I’m gonna rest
anxiety and stress, they’re never far away
The biggest hurdles that I have to make it past each day
I want to live in peace...
Wonder why I have to experience things tragic

Reborn to the Universe
I’m reborn to the Universe,
In a world filled with love & peace.
My parents can talk in reverse,
And I grin without any teeth.
I kick my wee feet and I squeal.
I’m reborn to the Universe,
As everything turns on a wheel.
My parents, like doctor & nurse,
Kiss boo-boos as if to rehearse.
I whimper and go back to sleep,
I’m reborn to the Universe.
Renewing with each faith I leap,
And much that I learn once again
In the multiple lives I traverse,
Revealing...
In a world filled with love & peace.
My parents can talk in reverse,
And I grin without any teeth.
I kick my wee feet and I squeal.
I’m reborn to the Universe,
As everything turns on a wheel.
My parents, like doctor & nurse,
Kiss boo-boos as if to rehearse.
I whimper and go back to sleep,
I’m reborn to the Universe.
Renewing with each faith I leap,
And much that I learn once again
In the multiple lives I traverse,
Revealing...

Nanna Flo
I had a realisation today
Just because you’re gone don’t mean you went away
Your final resting place could not contain your burning flame
And now I feel you every single day
I laughed it off before
“That’s just insane” I thought
But since I saw the signs
I don’t think that anymore
Your daughter’s daughter taught me much about what’s out that door
But your silent guidance taught me even more
I never felt your warmth before you had to leave
But now I pay attention to your whispers in the breeze
The rustle of the leaves...
Just because you’re gone don’t mean you went away
Your final resting place could not contain your burning flame
And now I feel you every single day
I laughed it off before
“That’s just insane” I thought
But since I saw the signs
I don’t think that anymore
Your daughter’s daughter taught me much about what’s out that door
But your silent guidance taught me even more
I never felt your warmth before you had to leave
But now I pay attention to your whispers in the breeze
The rustle of the leaves...

these
That, that I know...
that, that I believe...
are like two trees
in a garden
with these:
there is one tree
wielding fruits
whose yields are that:
that I know...,
so ever-good for food
and are thus ever-ripe
and another tree
wielding fruits
whose yields are that:
that I believe...
to be desired indeed
and ever-pleasing to the sight.
But only the fruits of one
(and not of the other) tree
be this true:
that what is pleasant
may not necessarily be...

Destiny
Why, oh why, is it this way?
I know not how to swim very well,
But when I see the sea, or wander within a pool, I have to stop and pray,
That my tears show not,
That my eyes stay not red, but white,
For the water reminds me of what I am not...
Why can I not breathe beneath the wave's foam, white?
Why can I not dive to the depths of the divers?
And see through water, like looking through air?
Why can I not the ocean's bottom traverse,
With something other than my pitiful human legs of despair?
Why can I not, with every breath, create...
I know not how to swim very well,

Bound to Believe
For those that are
Bound to Believe.
Is truth in knowing
which authority
to "believe"? Or,
is truth in knowing
which authority not
to "believe?
For those that are
Bound to Believe
Is Truth (to be "known")
over all matters of
Authority (to be "believed")
superior to
Authority (to be "believed")
over all matters of
Truth (to be "known")?
For those that are
Bound to Believe
If Satan requires "belief"
would that "believers" "believe"
that Satan is God ...

Second Life ( String of Tanka )
Another visit
To your doctor is over
And I am relieved
Thankful everything is well
The lab results are okay
For eleven years
This has been our routine
Visiting clinics
Every two months for check up
To ensure your heart is fine
Since your surgery
Many things have changed for us
Especially you
Those carefree years are gone now
We're living on borrowed time
Thus I try to live
In the moment, the present
When we're together
I won't think of tomorrow
What matters to me is NOW
...
