All the many avenues of desire People are led down Plowing through life towards that carrot Eating to satisfy our cravings Thrashing after our latest goal In emptiness we run Thirsty for fulfillment Even knowing we are misled

too easy what a lovely dream to glide through the muck feathers coming out clean to soar on life's currents with grace in the light to just rise above it enjoying the flight

Hey, sin, :) either way we find life still sucks sometimes feels like I've been hit by 2 trucks like hour after hour I'm being sucked dry so drained there's not even a tear left to cry but those days always pass and pressures ease and I laugh at the smile, tickle and tease cause why waste precious days in a sob and a moan the mind can untwist, call me, pick up the phone

so you don't grow up to be dull deaf and blind...all the time barreling headlong for the sake of a rhyme stall your flight on occasion to take in the view the landscape familiar under cloak of the new sometimes the reaction to moldy stew will signal quite clearly that you've had your fill

are these the waters of which you speak that rush through the land in their silver streak or the river of life that pulls me along at a gentle pace or with whitewater strong that threatens to drown me me or washes me clean revealing its secrets or bottom unseen clear sparkling in sunlight or unsettling dark an endless zip line or a walk in the park

watching the wind gently blow sweeping up yesterday into tomorrow changes come be it beg steal or borrow that old seesaw of joy and sorrow in the mind's slow method of process transforming from cursed to the blessed to my own self I'll reveal pain confessed unraveling emotional distress experience it to let it go washed away in river's flow remembering one thing I know we make our bed, direct our show

a twofer patch :) stray from the lines they want you inside you may not fit in, cold stares to abide but oh what a swoosh of fun down that slide landing on butt or feet moving a dance of jig or tightly braced with the pure of heart or the double faced laugh lines so deep they can't be erased both a trick and a treat

When no souls spoke truth settled around them cloaked their shoulders from the chill clinging to leave no space for doubt When no souls spoke clearly could they hear the hush the spinning of the earth and time suspended in the starlit night

good things happen to bad people heard that song the other day made me smile and think of you riding the waves grand view on the peaks hidden quiet in the valleys so full words bottled inside only escape in little spurts never touching the gusher below still, hello to the fish delicious in every course wave

they don't always happen in the night the mares that stampede through in flight the deep descent through heavy fright can show its face in broad daylight set against a sky clear blue even hand in hand with you with neither welcome nor curfew rogue depression demands its due

Recognizing my own needs Even as they pile up around me Aching for some relief Chances are it will be a wait Happiness remembered Only a shadow of itself Until the spark in your eye Tickles that sleeping joy (ha, fail, this was supposed to be cheerful)
