Treading water in the

Treading water in the
Sea of melancholy
No continent between
Hopelessness and jolly

Carefully cupping a
Wilting four leaf clover
While memories float off
To the line and over

I didn't take the time

I didn't take the time
To watch a setting moon
Too caught up in my thoughts
The transient typhoon

When all of a sudden
The war within found peace
The slow trajectory
Earth's satellite of peace

Bold questions and answers

Bold questions and answers
And yet I still don't know
Clouds coming and going
With sunshine, rain and snow

Left searching the pieces
A childhood in tatters
The years and people gone
Now, no longer matters

Canvas without edges

Canvas without edges
No sense of night and day
Or today's date or month
October, June, no May

My home all about me
The present and the past
Are there in a moment
The sails are on one mast

Like a glacier moving

Like a glacier moving
I can't see the effect
The pulling, the dredging
Nothing clearly reflects

The change that's occurring
The massive moment here
Mountains are mustard seeds
Say move and they adhere
