We watch the rain
Side by side Hand in hand Cars splish splash in the falling water Lights catch reflections creating Infinite Rainbows They quickly come and go But their lights can't compete with your eyes. Because there Eternal Rainbows reside Each with a pot of gold waiting Warm and dry Side by side Legs intwined Later Wet will come When warm turns to HOT Now chatter surrounds We take turns buying rounds Stupid jokes make you laugh I act a fool for your rainbow smile Worth every effort Safe and sound Hand in hand I always want you around The girl with the rainbows in her eyes.

A dreamer's waking breathe
Kisses The starless night Reality bending A stunning yoga prose It stretches on top of itself from the exhale Third eye opens to the impossible made flesh A waking paradox in the fading autumn light Moments in time Frozen In falling orange leaves Trees dreaming of a greener tomorrow Lumbering toward the coffee killed rain forest, Hoping to wake up Dreaming desserts An oasis of stars How can one sleep in the new world of lights? How can one dream with so many distractions? Awaken all dreamers! Draw strength from thy breathe! See the world unfold upon itself as time continues its endless march into the future Trust the trees Trust the dreams Trust the stars. The last King of the Living went to his coffin and wept
His tear flowed free and salty in the tender darkness that enveloped The final light in his mind burned its final flame Bright Pure Burning itself into oblivion The war was over... Tears of blood had been shed and bled So much the moon rose ruby red Frowning full moon, the only witness The King sunk further into the depth Tens of thousands swept through to the unknown Loyal Fearless Fighters! Representing life. Not understanding there is no beating death, no mattar how good the fight No matter how much you believe in the light From darkness we come and unto it we return As the coffin lid closed And the red moon rose The King convered into darkness his last light struggling against the vast empty He finally understood it all Nor could Dark ever fully win. Soft and supple
This is the state of a living thing The softest thing is water How HARD IT CAN SEEM! So hard that it breaks rocks and bones Supple as the softest velvet The kind of lining that goes in a coffin The kind of skin found on a newborn Flip it over and reveal The master knows what is soft when touched Can be hard when pushed What is supple and inviting Can be inviting you to death Soft, hard, supple and coarse ALL play essential parts |
