Meaning

bright star
how you look at me with your acrylic eyes
tenderness
you bring to this symphony

Chickens Crossing

walking down a long road
chickens on both sides
crossing

is this a joke

something else

Sophisticated

millions of small ants
jaunting and jousting
sophisticated souls

Shoe Shine

fantastical nothing but the rainbow
illuminating forrest sparkling
underneath the window of decadence

(Untitled)

sweet love
nurturing the sap
taking out the trash
saturday night

Unite

building bridges
one by one

Forward and Forward

this is
i am

testifying
trying

taking day
each day

sprinting
slowing

Word Choice

he didn't know
words meant so much

he didn't know
words could be the difference

he didn't know
he just was
existing in the moment

Headache

nothing is making sense
the world is colliding
no direction
nothing is connected

trying to sort though
keep going
not giving up
yet

Trying to Find My Way

feeling my way
night after night

i crawl into your arms
can you find me

without a net
holding on

Finding Path

where are my words
what can i do
why do i stay still
what path do i go

Twiddle That

pit pat
twiddle that

knock knock knock

nothing

no response

pit pat
twiddle that

Light

the light shines down
brightness surrounds me
nothing like light
on my path

Nonsense on a Thursday 11 pm

brain is fried
mush turns to snow

wild berries
shuffle to the moonlight

baking cookies
converge with fluffed eggs

brisket
tumbles without conscience

Drinking from the Mountain

so much to taste
the mountain
had so much to give
day after day

Finding a Moment

he stood with the crowd
candle waving
feeling the ebb and flow
push and pull
there he knew
he could breathe

Feeling Love

when i walk to you
all i feel is love
nothing stands between us
we long for each day

Boombox (Inspired)

feeling the juices flow
i stand on my feet
this is what i know
this is the real me

sometimes there is a path
other times the world collapses
i try to feel the flow
this is the way i lead my life

dancing all night long
there is nothing i can't do
all that i want right now
is to feel the ground beneath me

Together

through the night
moving together with a rhythm

Positive Values

Hope
Peace
Friendship
Beauty
Love
Courage
Struggle

Shower Song, Part II

next thing i know
i'm in the shower

singing at the top
of my lungs

Butter on Warm Toast

warm toast

the evening clicks

eyes closed

the mind slows

No End

night falls
moon looks down
speechless
despair

ants march
wind sweeps
horse drawn chariots
fires burn the skyline

no end
eyes close

Coming Home

he carried everything
banjo, cigarette holder
he never asked for anything

he took a deep breathe
he shifted in his seat
welcome home

Pulling Myself Together

can i walk
the (way i need to) walk
to look professional
to get it all together

maybe now is the time
to transcend
take that responsibility
to find the joy

seeing myself in a different way

Networking 101

bringing people together
in unexpected ways
creates (an) energy

Lonesome

birthday cakes
butternut squash
sophisticated complications
times we lose ourselves
rivers dash our spirits
lonesome we wander


(written for march 5, 2010)

Spoken Words

the
words sound
different
in my head

spoken
the words
tremble
me

What If x 4

what if two feet became one

what if there was never an end

what if there was a pathway that no one knows

what if the rain turned and walked away

Dancing Trees

the lonely road
driving sideways
bends turns curves

echo bounces
trees collide
triumphant cacophony

Positive People

sunshine
brings
positive
people

positive
people
brings
sunshine

What to Do Now

i don't know
what to do
with myself

no more snowboards
no more curling
