People Watching

See them at a glance

Shades of beings passing by

Lives in motion, where are they going I wonder

Are their lives similar to mine in any way

For whom do they care, for whom do they desire

What makes them tick, the random man, woman, child as they pass by

Try not to notice, why should I bother

See a wave, a fellow glance, a smile in your direction

Share in a brief moment, a short meeting if the mind's

Life's paths cross for a split second

See those we pass each day, watvh the pass us by as we do the same

Wonder about who they are, where they've been, where their headed

Are our paths ever watching the same...

Your jabs and smacks

Won't ever find a way

Towards the potential

That she harbors.

Neither would the recurrent stabs

Of your steely words

Will ever be able

To shove their way

Into her heart's revival.

The storm of your frightening impatience

Will never moisten the cracks

Deep seated within her.

Her broken wings won't mend

By the fire in your breaths ever.

She's a minefield of treasure

Which won't ever yield

In front of your condemning vision.

You won't ever seek her shining

Exquisitely unique brilliance.

Wind, You Are

Oh wind, look how plain you are

And with all the disdain; you shiver

Look how meek you are

Quieter then mice, quiet as you quiver

.

Wind, oh how pleasant is your subtlety

Are you aching yet?

Have you crept through both pocket & breast?

I can feel your desperate spluttering

.

How wild you are, my wind

You've span yourself around again

Built up pace, the dangerous sin

Of acting as God does

.

Winter is akin to you,

You're a spit in the face, as frost is

You can also be wonderful

When the air conditioning is helpless

.

Patch Work

Piece by piece it all comes together

Your spirit the thread

With each stitch you create something unique

A scrap here, a rag there; substance in the eyes of the beholder

Meaning can be found within each square

A lesson to be learned, a moment to help guide another

Smile at your work in progress, the threads never tattered

Hum yourself along as you work, bit by bit a full construction of a human being comes into view

Keep adding, never stop; this world needs more of us to keep it together

What piece will you be, what story will your patches serve to tell...?

An Old Song

I know that tune

The words escape me

I think I listened to it once with you

My mind's so unclear on so many things

Yet, I remember this

We danced together

Smiling, laughing, singing along

Just two kids being kids, enjoying life

Back before things were complicated

Before life took us on our separate ways

We said we would always be together

Now I don't ever know if you're still on this Earth

The times we shared flood my failing mind now

The whispered words, the times we cried

Holding hands, looking deep in each other's eyes... I always lost

If you're still around maybe you'll hear this tune and think of me too

Think of the time before these days

Dream of a place where we are still together, dancing to our favorite old song

Shadow Someone

Take up their mantel

Make their face your's

The same, thoughts, beliefs, ideas come to mind

Share in their talks, partake in their Kool aid

Yours has been spiked, don't be shocked when you faint

Can't keep up the pace

Realize you're lost, this isn't you, it wasn't ever meant to be you

Time, so much time wasted playing the fool

So twisted is your face, your very being is nothing more than a knot

Begin to unravel, untangle, unwound the threads

Eventually find the center, the point of where this all possibly began

Was it you who lost yourself to the shadow

Or did the shadow lose itself within you...?
