Here in the deep abstract

Here in the deep abstract
Negotiation nails
Are strewn about useless
In the absence of rails

An invitation to
The unraveling hem
A simple answer yes
Commences the mayhem

Perseverance power

Perseverance power
Forward movement with wake
An eye on the finish
The yellow ribbon break

Falling, tripping, grovel!
The slow chipping away
Beneath the roughest stone
A monument display

Loitering through these days

Loitering through these days
No conclusions are drawn
The pendulum swinging
From morning until dawn

Kicking the stone further
Directionless, unaimed
Into vacant future
Our destiny unclaimed

Being an example

Being an example
Does not ensure success
We are not divine by
The act of being blessed

We must grow like nature
Even at point zero
And push hard, forth and out
And be our own hero

In empty space abstract

In empty space abstract
Where thoughts have become skew
And in the emptiness
Possibilities brew

The opposite of black
Instead of darkness fear
In the blindness of white
The sum of parts grows clear

Entrenched in existence

Entrenched in existence
Not boastful of being
Not able to stop all
The wrong we are seeing

Even in this corner
It's hard to accept
Those without empathy
And promoting neglect

Not fulfilling the What

Not fulfilling the What
It's been about the Who
Self improvement and the
Experience anew

And the world we live in
From foot roots to head sky
Greater understanding
Of the questions of Why

Refusing to believe

Refusing to believe
When truth is transparent
Simply unable to
See what is apparent

And so proof must be made
Or the pattern of trust
Will bend so far until
It shakes, rattles and busts

Enough of the inward

Enough of the inward
A full landscape of space
Between the forest and
The sprawling human race

Determine to relate
Understand the unknown
Seek a sense of others
Be it fluid or stone

No contact, no friction

No contact, no friction
Or camaraderie
The frown and the laughter
Tragic and comedy

Out of sight and orbit
Gravity defying
Reeling and careening
Never unifying

We are here in placid

We are here in placid
Beneath a clearing sky
All about nourishment
Inside, the sleeping why

Is it my turn to row
The albatross will guide
Rest, the setting sun puts
Its finger on the tide
