hall of bone and stone
these orchids offset my fear
cathedral echoes

peace
church
the thick silence
the stillness
the exquisite detail
and care placed
in each
and every square inch
the world, the void
the void is our world
but our world is not void
my soul can rest in silent sleep
but our world is not void
we make it difficult to smile
we make it difficult to rest
I cannot help this melancholy
my mood will change with the wind
bend with the river
for our world is not void
my tree, my self
stone by the river
moss-covered orb
faceless spectre
catalyst to thought
my toes, the roots
to my tree, my self
my fingers, the minstrels
of my heart, my love
cloud carrying rain
distant vision of God
voiceless entity
way of finding peace
my bones, the branches
to my tree, my self
my skin, the soil
of my heart, my love
river
is this river just my heart
is this pain just a recollection
the moment when the clouds are parted
when the sun can warm me
these are the times I live for
the meaning of life
dwelling on those spaces where no answer exists
hanging on to the moment when you find the solution
tolerate – don’t aggravate your brother
he’s mixed up with ego like you are
find someone to spend a life with
combine as one and illuminate with love
don’t bare regrets for you must understand
hurt just happens and we all end up the same
becoming individual is half the war
the battle is won when we realize
we are not the same – we are one
one more time
every time I sit on this stool
and drink and think and write
I see the truth and
come to realizations
hoping that when I leave
when I walk home to bed
I will be a step closer to peace
and my life will be different when I wake
nothing changes
I’ll finish my drink
walk home
pass out, wake up
and go to work
again, one more time
until I come up with something better
