Alone, quiet
Still the night, it rings
A heart beating
A pulse as it sings
Solitude
Is a warm rejoice
A harmony
To the quiet’s voice
And i
Am fine
In my peace
Of mind
& loneliness
Is a kindred ghost
Departed by
My hearts pulse
As i
Am fine
With my
Pieces of mind
Theres refuge in the sprites
That awaken when youre alone
The company of shy thoughts
And feelings that you own
And i
Am fine
With my spirits
Alive
With a witness
That bares the self
Connecting to
A grander wealth
Oh, i
Am fine
A witness
To life

Nail
In the hammers claw
Does not reverse
The work thats laden
In lumber remaden
What was the past and fastened
To last is now free to
Mend, create, suspend
Reform
Into a structure that is new
To serve reborn
Reforged and renewed
Those olden tools a use
That have worked for fools abuse
Can be reclaimed to build, reframe
Our purpose again
With clawed hammer and a will
To destroy and rebuild
A splintered loss
A broken board to toss
Into the flame for fuel
A grief so blue
A sacrifice that still gives life to
The excess
A sacrifice of the excesses of life
Can transmute a newer truth

Old Growth Ghosts
03:10
|
|||
|
Gone are the times old
What lingers is the pain
Memories
Are gilded edges
Edges on a page
As old growth it haunts the forests
Burning inside our choices
A new world world for you and me
A heritage of ashen corpses
As old times are done
Sold out
And lingering
Pain inherited
Still haunts like a fate
Written & unjust
Can burn through the days
When theres no letting go
All thats left is leaning in and
Holding on with lessons dear
To a burning fate
Without
Fear

Petrichor
It fills the air
The warmest rain
On your skin bare
Breathe in slow
As the breeze whispers low
Harvest the moments
To preserve and grow
Softness, stillness
Is savory
With brisk contrast
Embodied
One-ness verges
In complexity
Senses in moments
In deep vibrancy
As your eyes inhale
Sunshowers
You taste the quiet
Smell of earth
As you breathe and bask
In sorrow
Quenched by scents
Of yarrow
As rains wash away
Scents of pain
The dull loss of
Hardships strain

hold the night
trusted with sound
the crickets are bright
ever unbound
heavens half step
dances with its shine
the nearest sun
takes rest on a world behind
the turn of the earth
darkens the ground
the focus of mind
slows thoughts all around
the sound of stillness
weighs light on the ears
in fragile moments
between stars and the tears

Earth Stirs in Spring
04:02
|
|||
|
Earth it stirs in thaw
Springs dawn
In slow awe
Shoots expose in soil
Tulips
To kiss
As last frost fades
Melts with the dew
To aid
The thirst of new growth
What’s dormant awakes
In seasons changing
As sleepy new starts wait
For full sun
To come on
Seeds erupt in shells
In dirt held
In hopes well
Blue skies in parted clouds
Give life
And light decending down
Like a kiss
To earths stirring flesh
With green growth grasping
Fresh
As fiddle heads unfurl
Fern fronds new songs
As roots explore the earth
Tendrils, tender
Warmth radiates new motion
Consuming the stately soil
Embedded
So life can rise awakened
To the seasons affection

Silent Cacophony
02:31
|
|||
|
The wind in my ears screams whispering bellows
In high pitch and low tones
The glitch in the silence makes swells of the sound
In perpetual echo
Of hums, static & crackling
In concert for only me
An endless whir of cascading rushes
Run through my brainstem
After the flights and the fight of emotion
Im left in my head
And audience of one
To bare witness
Alone in stimulessness
Somedays the winds, they calm in true silence
And others rage like the violentest tempest
Stirring in
My synapses
Tones flux
Like deaf dances
My stillness can mean little amid internal forces
That can wreck so savage
In quieting calm i grasp to my deepest most center
But can still be ravaged
As nature is a hurricane
In the quiet of a mortal brave

Dear Lover
03:25
|
|||
|
dear lover
theres a darkness in me
take me willing
take me wanting
to the brink
and i will surely fall
by the side lines of sorrow
im heartsick
with my head in the clouds
youre so close
but a dream already found
and ive a craving desire
burning in loneliness's pyre
i wonder if im ever meant
for the kind of love
free from tethers
but also fits like a glove
time has its own plans for us
and what will become of our lust
dear lover
our feelings are real
you chose another from the start
and made it a deal
before we had a chance to know
whats on the other side of sorrow
