I am the fallen leafthat drifts along the breeze.Dry-exposed, decaying still,please put my mind at ease.The tree had once been sacred—my branch, my love, my home,Yet with Summer’s torrid heat it seemed,I was destined to be alone.I am the leaf now dying.After long and tortured swelter.In vein, I clinge protected less—my brothers’ waining shelter.The tree…
The heart is a muscle
A truly amazing song about not giving up on love. Why would you ever?It’s about sticking your neck out there and being vulnerable enough to have it cut off. Fucking beautiful.Much love to Dave and the Gang of Youths guys.——————————Break me off a piece of thatAnd mix it in with a little wineWith someone warm…
Love, giving up, and other stupid things.
I will not give up on love.Not for myself, not for others,and not for a fickle glimpseof what i thought it was —not for a single goddamn minute.Love has dropped me on my assand had it’s way with me,over, and over, and over again.Yet I still believe in love.I believe in a love so thickyou…
Tell me your story
Just let me know,burden me with your depth.Let me listen to heart;stethoscope on bereft.We all have our stories,we all hide our pain,we all have our struggles,we’ve learned in this game.Life’s not worth living,if you can’t share your soul,if you can’t spread your wings,with the flock that you know.And if they don’t listen,and if they don’t…
Alive
When I walk in the rain,I feel like a boy,An endearing releaseOf fearful-less joy.It touches my skin,Caresses my soul.I look up in wonderAt this upturned world’s bowl.My eyes tear with splashesOf dripping reliefFrom skies above,In torment, in peace.A drenching of thoughttickles me now,Of how we’re so scaredOf rain splashing down?It’s our world’s releaseA joy to…
Imagine Unimagined
Broken paths lay out before me, Earth breaking, shifting mercifully, Tectonic plates in motion grind. Step cautious ’round an untrained mind. Still dare to walk, new roads to face, A familiar path leads to the very same place. Take necessary steps to set on your way, Such differing steps from those yesterday. Grow wings and…
Knowing
What if? What if you reflected momentarily on what you were doing with your life? Reflected on what was not serving you, what was and was not motivating you, and in that moment, you began to notice the parts of your life that you knew just weren’t quite right?You sat in that moment with those…
I miss your smile
“I miss your smile.” The mirror reflected his words. ~ Mark Thompson
Breathe again
Animals are we from land to sea instinctive players evolving layers kin and I the one the same. Let’s cast aside the quickening stride and bring the glee in we taking us across the sea through sojourned places and new found races faces walking paces slowed To stop. And cop A breath And feel the…
An ode to a shopping trolley
Spinning, driftingfrom side to side,a haphazardous journey,a challenging ride.One wheel hard-stuck,another in shudder,this portable prison!Demon-spawn needs a rudder!The struggle is realas we twist to and fro,crashing the sides—each aisle, each row.I should have heeded the signs,and carried out studies,chosen more wisely whenyou were wedged with your buddies,Yet now in danced twistof shopping trolley awry,is found…
