In my rhythm...

~Happy 2012~

Welcome home San Francisco

I thought I lost you

Home is home.

Where it feels like home

Where the houses are colorful and the

Streets are bright

Toast to a new year

And the close of change

Only to welcome more

Returning back to you

You have been waiting

And me too

These streets hold my people

This is where I belong.

Green sunlight is warm

I can see differently

So quickly

Just because it used to be

It will still grow along side me

A toast to myself and the year past

But mostly to the adventures moving fast-

A look beyond from the last

I have learned to know

And feel where my roots have chosen to grow

To a new year

Of new

Really just a rearrange-

I am coming back

And I might look back

But I do not need to fear

My heart will steer

ice storms...

 Winter's heat

Biting ice storms

Gloom of the past

No burning back

Forward step

Turning wheels

And here we go

Go-

Welcome home.

Happy Holidays...

Laugh. Love. And be merry.

Growing into young...

Sit tight. Time flies.

Papa

You enjoy simplicity

In good company with a good drink

Roaming in nature

Space to be

But you are nothing short of great

Focused on the path ahead

You wander

With an outline

A mere plan

Always do your best

Life will take care

Of the rest

Growing up with you I thought you knew

Everything true

There to care

And always right

But you watched me grow

Offered me distance

To be

A little free

And pinched me

When I needed to see

Lessons learned

Life turns

Now I come to you

As my own person too-

And I see what you see for me

And I know what you hope for me

And I feel your support

     Next to me   

You built this family

With sweat and love

No one can ask for more

No one could need more

You offered me what I didn’t know I needed

What I only hoped to ever have

My mind is open because of the way you loved me

Anchor me...

 

In the parting of our ways

I miss you

Night calls

Reciting the day 

Hold me

Let me smile at you

Let us go about the day

Let us play

In rain

And watch the animals and babies

Where did you come from?

Will we stay?

Traveling for a time

Just to look back

Stranger, dear,

I've found my anchor in you

This story repeats from the beginning...

Home is a place for rest

For finding where you are

Which has left

Repeating back to the beginning

Finding your child

And asking where you have gone?

Everyone I have known

I lose track what they say

I am walking away

I think I know you

But when I ask how you know me

I realize how little

I am

And what few thoughts

I know

 I am mute 

Watch me drive these streets

Watch me

And take it in

And know this is what I am 

I feel the ground

In its sandy burn

Finding Mother nature

Take me along on this journey

You want for me what you don't want for me

And I know that

And I'm ok

And so are you

And I love you

Repeat...

Writing words please come to me

Please express with sincerity

Please share what I don't see yet

Repeating sounds whirl me into word winds

write write write write

And write

Nothing but empty...

Nothing to say today

Empty inside

But full of thoughts that hide

Yesterday the whirlwind of panic

And happy

Every time

Just like the last

Oh you

Oh us

Oh my

Oh these games

Of beliefs, of right, of timing, of light

Of it all that is just one

Little big moment
In this time we think passes

Us by

Oh my

Today is just going to pass

Let it

Move

Let us

Fall in and wrap up in it

In nothing but emptiness

Of this day

On the ship...

Family tree

Texture like sun

Lay me down

Searching for bones from the past

Two distant lands

Soul memories of how it used to be

Still between us

Look to the moon and fly to her

Luna, he calls her

Always glowing silently in the night

She smiles reflecting his light

Forever forward facing

She never turns her back

Just from this past

That never was

See me within

Bowing your name...

Maybe we move together in sleep

That's where you come back to me

Again, and again

Not to stay but only to hold me

I can feel myself curve around you

Know that feel closely 

I dream of you on treetops

Bowing down to the Gods

When will this stop?

low tide...

 

How low is your lowest tide?

You make me want to hide

From these memories

A past that vanished

Still see through like glass

Today is your day

And I'm far away

Today is your day 

How low is your lowest tide?

Are you going to sink or swim?

Are you going to make this a win?

I move in silence

Throwing dice

Into this future

No one need be around

I am ready to step

On two feet

How did I ever need so badly?

Why don't I want anyone?

I like playing solo

And still I miss you

Today is your day

No ethics...

 I don't believe in morals

If they follow rules

I move by this voice

It guides my right

And that is the only moral way to be-

Free

These words flow like waves crash in the sea

Beating battles forever

I see myself unravel

Crashing into one

Wrong is the way to right

Through difference we see the light

This contrast leads me to new

I appreciate solitude

Rewind...

Look Out

And Go Under

(Jared Landberg)

Pause.

Take a moment to ask-

How do I feel?

Now.

As I do this

thing, chore, task 

Is it a bore? Do I need more?

Before the levee breaks

And you fall into the cracks

Asphalt stacks will bury you deep

Pounding patterns of fear

Before you forget why, try-

Feel into remembering

Pause.

Take time and grab it

Peel it from the clock

Place it inside

The hours move in your mind

There is no need to rewind

Everything happens here

You are always near

Be clear and re-steer
