Sleepy train strides...

I live a life full of fills

I wanna wake up where you are

Because I like to go far

I was made to travel this world wide

Experience the stride of kicking and connecting

Waking up to rivers and city lights

I'll do it all

Just once, maybe

Just because

I know this is the only life I get

And I like my current trip

I was made to live a full life

Filled with full

Off to the Big Apple to take one last sweet bite

Ready to reunite

Mirror mirror reflect to me

That which I don't know I need to see

Tastes of sweet poisons

Just to remind me how free it can be

Hanging on

Hanging high

I'm a little lost

Filled with love and willing to take a hit

Believing in the change I wish to see

I want all to travel beyond that which they need

We are meant to live a life of fullness

A life of beauty

This could be the sweetest saddest dust

I've ever seen

Turned into miracles

Racing minds charged by the sight

Desert Rays...

My Visit to Arizona

 Vast sky and beating sun

Everything in the desert has thrones, she said

Silent words road tripping to passing tunes

Planning bad decisions marked in ink

Always looking for a reason

Burning cigarettes down to my fingers

Sipping sweet poison

The smell still lingers from the night before

Release and forgive the crazy

There is no use to sit here alone

Crystal clear green beckons our touch

Wild wind whispers our name

 Fall into the grand

Forming canyons of selves

Deep grooves of old and new

Life is a history, we are a part

Share...

Roaming night of mischief

Window peaks into sunset dust

The weather vane is a must

You decide it can be this way

Cracked open from past pain

Frying eggs on sidewalk chalk

Cacti thistle punch

Thankfully pricked

Your smile radiates around you

Out of my head...

Give me something real

Give me something real to say

I'm sick of this shit-

Reading back line over line

Of him and her-

And this and that-

I want substance

I'm looking for justice

I need moral ground

To align these steps

I want to find myself in you

No more ego to focus on

It's time to look beyond

If you don't give

What have you left behind?

To see the vision that be

I have to believe beyond me

Life is not about success

It's about making a difference

What is worse violence or silence?

What legacy do you see?

How do we connect back to the beats of soul?

 Let's get the ball to roll-

Sick of spectacle

I need substance

Give me some realness

So we can heal this

How do we hide behind our fear-

Grabbing a beer?

Running clear?

Look, it's time to steer

Sit here near

What do you worship?

Who do you wish to be?

What if others are not free?

Find a way

Because spirit will pay

That's why I'm here to stay

Think what you may

But I will love you anyway

It's time to teach empathy

Let's learn how to make equality

To turn away from treason

We need more than reason

What about the courage of compassion?

Do we teach the power of passion?

We are too afraid to say what we feel

because we are trapped in this fake deal?

It's time to get real.

Questions are Answers...

 

Who inside this mind asks the question why?

Is the demon the gift of reflecting light?

How do the crows know where to take flight?

Their shine moves in unison-

How do they know when to begin?

If I could travel back in time and press rewind-

Would lone living treat me more kind?

Living with a village family,

just a few we on a hillside-

Before cell phones and airplanes and emails and instant connection-

Which world is a perfect heaven?

Is there a reason to keep a busy pace?

What is left we have yet to face?

Do I have access to the inner world of me?

How can I ever know that I am free?

Is the best really yet to be?

You gave me this song...

No matter what happens on the outside

You never have to fight against anything

Because when you notice

The nudge goes away

You will be taken all along

 Sometimes that song will take me there

I've spent hours listening to a tune on repeat

Simply because I can't get off the high

Texture like sun

My mind runs

Throughout the night

Never fight with a frown

Take both my hands.

I will hold yours in mine.

This is intertwined.
