in the jumble mush concerns of the day
don't you know
hope you will
Within and Without
concerns of the day
let em pass
Let come what will come.....gently.....gracefully
let em pass
an' drift into the slick sweet all consuming night.
You've left it all,
All and everything,
Better than you found it.
The way I see it, the way I see you
it's a radiating strength
Everything I hold I found in you
Everything you embrace seems to glow and grow
In proportion to the excitement soft and familiar built.
Smile on your nights
As a traveler of dreams
Emboldened to the silt rich vein of everyday art.
It's all out there waiting for you.
Awaiting the best version of yourself
You've yet to conceive
The rest of us just sow smiles, cracking a wide grin
Happy we walk the earth in your company and know you on a first name way...
A wanderer winding over soft rocks
ReplyDeletehungry winds, hot hopped
thick as peat moss, the roll of
rapids, sweet white knuckles
over my back, the grip of Gulliver
A song of roses blooming beneath
your skies
your eyes -- like tumbling water
slinking across technicolor waves
of berber, sliding over panes
out windows, into souls.
Take me back to silks
and swamp salt water
A mangrove limb stretched long over
my belly, lilly-pads pressing
seeds into my vertebrae
Your mouth, a gentle swing
to lay my burdens, yellowed bruises
in a borrowed house
by the sea.
