The feelings expressed
Too much for me to digest
Laid out on the page

Then after maybe the things
Within my heart that rings

Settle in some meaningful way
Cease to creep in
Abate attacking always
Remnants of the reviled
Recessed memories
Eternally etched
Deep within the depths

This will have to be
My soliloquy, my legacy

That I never give excuse for being me
Me is all I know how to be

And if that strike dissonant within you
Chance it strikes dissonant within me too

Gold is wretched, dull, gray
Colorless, it is made worthless
By your yellow silken frame
The sun weeps for inadequacy
The moon shines brighter
In the noonday sky
Than the sun in your radiance
The stars but sandy dust to be swept
Aside by the glimmering gems
That fairies and imps do dwell in
What a pittance to pay
As a path to you, if I may
Just to keep warm in your glow

The flower blooms
So much blood shed by its thorns
In distracting from that beautiful fragrance

Within the petals lie life and death itself
Appearing always so out of reach
Soon it will wither and pass away
Though once it was within grasp
Yet never were the silken petals touched
Trickery, a beautiful mirage

Only the thorns offer security
Keeping at bay that piercing void
Yet also do thorns die
Their scars forever marking
Every sorrowful moment
The flower was in reach
But the thorns were chosen

Deep inside, chained up, locked away
Too dangerous out in light of day
For shelter from the harsh weather
No true happiness nor sadness together
Contentment's path of self denial
Not in itself a difficult trial
Walking along that pleasing path
Struck me with your amiable wrath
Unlocked that hidden secret part
Beautiful, I had forgotten
For a time all seemed well
Now more than ever akin to hell
Remembering now why the lock
The tempests, the tsunamis, block
You who knew best the fragility
The scars, the inability
Did this to me

Dawn's first ray stikes
A bird dives
A wave breaks the silence
A fish breaks the surface
Soil is loose
A worm digs a hole....

Once more gazing to the sky?
Seems that hope will never die
To send this hope across the sky
Will I?

Reaching out across the sky
Praying hope will let me fly
To take that leap from up so high
Will I?

Roaring thunder shakes the sky
Tempests freed throughout this sigh
To break this cycle from the eye
Will I?

Once more gazing to the sky
Twas hope caused this heart to cry
To leave it all this lonely lie
Will I?

A new-hatched bird espies the vastness of life
Unmoved, stoic in its stare
No need for strife
All that lies beneath is air

Tick... tick...

The young bird swoops low
Life under the trees wasn't all empty
Something down there it began to know

Tick...tick...

Crimson wings struggled from the mire
Life crept up and took the mature bird
Tempting it down toward its pyre

Even the strongest steel melts in fire
Given a little time, the whole bird will burn
The will grows hot, the cares grow lighter
Everything in time will take its turn

Tick..tick...

A new-hatched bird espies the vastness of life
Unmoved, stoic in its stare....

Silence speaks volumes
Irrefutable, there is no counter
Immovable, it gives no ground
Intangible, a shapeless shade

Spoken, speak, no one is listening
The more in number the lesser in strength
Hist, listen, everyone is speaking
The sound of silence only grows louder

Speak what is inside and be empty
The leaves on the branches
Too many fly and the tree will die
Losing to gain is a dangerous game

The silence sounds within
Unconscious yet vigilant
Always listening and always heard
The loudest roar cannot drown
The sound of silence

Sluggishly, the sun on a suffocating summer's morning shines
Cheerfully, the horses mingle about and find their lines
Volcanic reds thundering among the iridescent blues
Make way to the track through the morning dew

A loop of chain runs 'round each back
Runs 'round the weight each horse must pack
Tightly, the manacles lock 'round each man's wrist
Mournfully, the men look to the ground, the earth be kissed

Behind the race went a different contest
To be known as the dullest, heaviest, pest
Stop the ceaseless circular chase
Seek a new way of life beyond this race

Not a day went by they did not try
Dug their heels in, made to fly
One man flew against the wind
Took hold of his horse, his friend

A man and his horse, among a horse and their men
Broke their chains, their orbit, 'came one again
A fullness of light spread 'cross the mane
As they sped away, to seek their gain
