A Greatness Inside

one day there was a person
who walked a thousand miles
with his boots on his feet

when the time came
to believe in his inner self
he never once believed

but when there was a chance
to go to the olympics
he realized that
there was a greatness inside

Why

why sometimes

up is no longer up

why
i say
why

Go Away

i want my body
to go away

On the Move

the walk
lets me think
the drive
inspires me

In the Wrong Lane

going wrong
how did this happen

potato cakes
sliced salami

what did i eat
i said all my prayers

Waking Up

dancing shoes
decorations
laughing hard at the tambourine
waking up in a delusion

Hopeful

i see a small glimmer of hope

Emptiness

sadness
overwhelms me

Snow Bunny

i'm a snow bunny
i'm a snow bunny
bunny bunny bunny
bunny bunny bunny

Olympic Observer

tired
all i can do is watch Olympic skating

Goal

to see someone reach their goal
nothing is more fulfilling than this

Driving

driving my car

makes me think

new ideas

warmth

dandelion soup

What Happened

did this day exist
or did i forget
to exist
on this day

Holding You So

time with you
is all i want

to see you smile and laugh
dance and play

holding your hand
is all i want

holding you so

Escape Until Tomorrow

living a dream
we experience the pleasures

nothing like the moment
to enjoy

feels magical
magnificent

the chocolate cake
awaits us tomorrow

Going Away

at long last
i breathe again

Diagnosis

my diagnosis
made me question everything
about the universe

The Point Is

what is the point
can someone tell me

how to live life
can i get some advice

this way
or that

this decision
or that

are we all alone
or are we on a team

does everyone care
or no one

feedback please
please

Flight Home

the beat goes
a little something like this

bright and early
about a quarter to six
i get to the airport
and here i really get dissed

my plane is cancelled
and i'm out of luck
splat
splat

i'm told there's nothing
nothing till
who knows
they say

i get up some steam
and i say it straight
um
i need to find a flight to get home tonight

the attendants look around
confused as all heck
trying to find a way
but having no luck

then out of sight
a spot opens up
i start to cry
with joy and relief

i apologize for my ways
then i i hurry along
back home i go
to get me some rest

Dear Mouse

maybe one day we can live side by side
but for now it's better for you to go away

Quiet

no words
just silence
rest
dreams
nothing more to say
a quiet mind
cozy
ready for sleep

Live Life

the serious work is done
now go and play

Island Life

going on the highway
on a late afternoon
i believe in miracles
i dream of island life

Change

how do we change?
or do we stay the same?

what if we don't know how we are changing?
or don't know we are staying the same?

autonomy
protection
paralysis

Intensity

on toes
one two three four

articulate words
patience

listen
interpret
react
respond

logic
try for logic

calm
calm
calm
calm

Alarm Clock

cymbals clang
awake disoriented
finding center
i go forth

What is What

nothing makes sense
anymore

the logic
just does not match up

too many mysteries
too many uncertainties

i don't even know
what is what
