ALIVE
Ashes to the ground Before tossed by wind Never what was But path made again… Life so tangled When destroyed but together Like the worn map Or lost buried treasure… Proof is beyond Noon or now Within the nuance Or a Will somehow… For in the loss Or changing scheme Lies a purpose Beyond what…

Blessed
11:11 on 11/13 Feeling relief In long suffering The toll was high But you made me strong Despite the lie Deceptive they were But weak in plan Or judgement blur And I am blessed With you inside And family vest Moving on Down a straighter road And better song.

Believe
I see the story And know the trends What is worshipped And has no end. And there is now Like the ocean floor What you thought And where you soar… And like a partner Not just a friend- And the beginning With no real end… I’ll be there And beyond that too- For it’s simply…

Sin
The idea of space and time Is only a moment No punishment or forgiveness Or mind with matter… No, simply a piece To the game Or missing peace Begging fame… For are we not always nothing? Until we come to a truth Is not age or beauty Fake fountain of youth… Just a second In…

Small Blessings

We Seek
We seek freedom and power Before age or beauty Concept or brain… Control of an empire Without fruitful desire Or judgement by trial… We seek knowledge before wisdom Love without return Journey absent destination… Inevitably the teaching After error and pain Humbled glory in vain… We then seek to turn And believe beyond ourselves Honoring…

Power
I am merely a whisper Within the scream A hopeful wonder… Or pleasant dream. I am the thought Within the action… Hearing the voice When losing traction. I am the love Inside the hate. . . Or the narrator Within your fate. I am the control In letting go… Building assumptions Inside the know. I…

The Plan
A voice is silent in this yelling spell Eyes open ears While a tongue breaks the heart Healed by drying tears. And whispers in the leaves Fall like screams Just like the memory Soaked by dreams. And I’ll wake Just like times before But gone to the wisdom Or hope for more. Where is this…

Magic
I am but a child Confined to adult walls… Begging for mercy- And punishment to stall. Seeking fairytales And no ending to fear… Defeating any beast Credits only to cheer. Belief in a magic Even logic cannot break… Angels patiently waiting- When life is more than I can take. I want to find heart In…
