The Secret Tree

I find that when I land on new ground,

My feet lift up and down.

Angry voices have woken up, sleeping overtime.

Resting is not a sin if it fits today's wind.

Speak in foreign chimes to be decoded;

And respectively lash out at the speaker.

Over apples pour white rice,

Yellow pictures crowd the walls,

Nobody sees the times you lied.

Mountains spreadeagle picture perfectly,

As painted in a storybook;

Crisp and green, dark and naked.

Sister, why'd you never come?

I waited at the secret tree,

Where on snow filled cracks spirits slept;

But of this vision I found none,

So off again I run run run.

Oh my gosh the storm did triumph,

So I don't know why I did come.

the thing is me

me i must be

be now

and i shall see

the true

the me

you are you

you i see

you see me

we won't be

but we can see

cherish it all

the rise

the fall

cradle it all

the laughter

the call

nourish it all

the blessings

the songs

Kindness

I see a match in my thoughts

Clear as the days ago

A little flint to spark the crash

To open the eternal flow

The kindness in the nation

Gets hidden beneath the steps

Caress the fallen sparrow's wing

Sleep upon his breast

Jump like growling victims

Closed up within a cube

Take the thought that does rhyme

And pull it through the tube

I prefer to act upon the thought

At a later time of hope

Push it out into the world

Let it roam around and mope

The kindness of a caring man

Gets hidden behind his eyes

Close my own to try new vision

Warm hands cannot tell lies

Within this land there are rules

Each different from creation

He thinks at night in frozen breath

He tries another station

The kindness of a stranger

Changes vibes into suspicion

Focus hard on fallen days

And travel through the mission

I CAST WISHES UPON THE OCEAN

IT SEEMED THE THING TO DO

ALL THAT I WISH FROM THIS WORLD

NOW SURFS THE BODY OF BLUE

REFLECTED LIGHT

OVER TIPS OF WAVES

LIKE A MARATHON OF CITIES

IN SEARCH FOR BETTER DAYS

MY WISHES NOW SWIM AMONG THEM

HOPING TO BE GRANTED SOMEDAY

I FEAR THEY'LL BE LOST AT SEA

NO GUIDANCE FOR FINDING THEIR WAY

A LOVE SINCERE

MORE INNER PEACE

ENHANCEMENTS SHARP AS A KNIFE

SOMETHING TO TICKLE MY SOUL

SOMETHING TO ALTER MY LIFE
