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

Quiet Stir...

I feel quiet

Quite soft

Bending with the breeze

I remember riding on the back of his motorcycle

Paris, 4am,

Watching myself think-

This is happening to me

Now

Filled with silent energy

I lay stirring inside

The sun offers to me

Dreams I expect to find 

I don't need words

Only sometimes-

Just to know that my suspicion is real

That you are listening to my feel

Disconnected, drifted, and lifted

I listen to the stories

Birthing daydreams and the in between's

Sun spots and shadows paint me over

Lift my step and fill me with stride

This beauty is never hard to find 

Off to nowhere...

Off to nowhere

Sittin' in the city garden

Life is a lover of mine

The forest is thick

And I keep finding

I'm off to nowhere

Special

People do what you do to be satisfied

I never knew...

(click to watch the wind move)

I never knew

I could be here.

Or that I would

Because I am

Time does change

It is my friend 

I never knew

I would be here.

I would sit in this place

And smile

And let it go

And be ok

And sigh

With relief

And see it differently 

I never knew

I would be here.

I never knew I would know this

I never noticed the sea sway take me with it-

farther, further, forever forward

I never knew

I would be here.

I never imagined this now

And yet I knew it all along

And I am thankful this is my song

I never knew

I would be here.

That I could do it

And did

And the wind continues to breeze

And the sun falls

And rises again

And it's just like they say

Withering Winter...

(Carolyn Victoria)

Repetitious repeating patterns

Windmills turn over and over

 

Water falls calmly downstream

while wild Salmon continue to fight upwards.

Pushing their way through, silently,

knowing this is what they need to do.

 

Call my name.

Over and over and over.

But it's not the same.

 

There are those who wait to pounce-

Patiently watching as their prey move by-

No need to strike--

The distance enlivens the taste.

Lazy...

(Louis Porter)

Still.

Reach down deep into my closed eyes.

I could live in this sleep walking.

Tired.

Stretched.

Thin.

Falling into this morning cup of Joe-

Hoping the light lifts me out this door.

Golden Brown...

(Louis Porter)

(Carolyn Victoria)

(Daughters of Simone)

Exposed- but you miss me.

Look into me please, these eyes are talking to you.

See my simplcity-

But know that I will forever reach

I can't stay

Behind 

Up and down

City lights offer me sight

Roots create security

One day I will marry

One day I will run in fields with you

One day I will be ready

But my mind is busy

At work

Looking

Look forward with me

Because I cannot look back

Nothing compares to you...

I am going home.

It seems like a mere outline these days-

afraid, unsure, and changed.

But though things rearrange

I know where to go-

Where champagne and giggles cure the soul

Where I can laugh and cry and wonder why

It is the way it is.

And I know that you get it.

And wonder too.

And wish to be and see everything I do

Friends like these come around once every lifetime

I am lucky to have mine

Even as the seasons change

And our life circumstances rearrange

We still move in a groove

The beat between us always hums in my ear

And so, no matter where I go

I am inspired by you dear

My girls ground me to my roots

Or let me go high- like a kite--

I let go of might and simply take flight.

My girls remind me of who I am when I forget-

And I know you will always catch my drift--

So with you by my side

I charge forward pursuing

Passion without question

And take it all in stride.

Late Night...
