_________________
IN THE SECONDS
THAT PASS
AND WE ALL
HAVE THE ABILITY
TO FIGHT FOR
WHAT IS RIGHT
I REMEMBER
A TIME WHEN
FEAR RULED
MY MIND
AND I WOULDN'T
LET IT GO
NOW ONLY
BLISSFUL PEACE
IS HERE
THERE IS A
KIND OF BEAUTY
IN THE IMPERFECTION
OF FUCKING
THINGS UP
AND YET IT
CREATES SOMETHING
WONDERFUL
IF IT WASN'T PERFECT
THE CHANGES
THAT PRESENT THEMSELVES
FROM
VISIONS
TO DREAMS
TO
HALLUCINATIONS
IN THE IMAGINATION
OF A CREATIVE MIND
FROM SHADOWS
WALKING ON EARTH
TO THE RAIN
WASHING OVER
AND BRINGING
COLD LIKE DEATH
THE SHIVERS
RAN
AS I RAN
TO SURVIVE
SURVIVE THAT
WHICH WAS IN MY MIND
AND THAT
WHICH WAS REAL
CRASHED DOWN
I SURVIVED
THE REAL
I SURVIVED
THE FALSE
TOOK AWHILE
TO GET BACK TO ME
FROM A TRIP
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO
ON
NEVER EVER
AGAIN
WILL I WALK
THAT WALK
I LEFT IT BEHIND
LIKE A BAD MEMORY
IN A LIFETIME AGO
PEACE IS HERE
AND IN HERE
ITS CHANGED ME
I LOOK TO THE
SKY AND I CAN'T
NOT SMILE
I CLOSE MY EYES
AND SEE THINGS
I SAW
THINGS THAT WAS
AND
I SMILE
ERASING THE
DARKNESS
WITH NOTHING BUT
THE BLISSFUL
SWEETNESS
OF
WHEN ALL WAS RIGHT
LOCKED INSIDE
AND YET FREE
OPENING
THE DOORS
THROUGH THEM I WALKED
CIRCLED IN FIRE
WASHED BY WATER
BREATHING IN
THE AIR OF ZILLIONS
THE TINY
PARTICLES OF LIFE
DIGGING
MY FEET INTO
THE DEEP GROUND
TO SOOTH
ROOTING ME
LIKE A TREE
AND OUT
TO THE EXPANSES
OF THE IN BETWEEN
OF WHAT IS
CALLED THE VOID
AND THE GALAXIES
AND STARS
OF THE UNIVERSE
TO THE WORDS
OF THOSE
THAT LIVE IN THE
SILENCE
AS SILENT HALLS
FALL
AND OPEN IN
AWAKEN EXPANDED
MOMENTS
OF THE LITTLE DEATH
I WONT WALK
A PATH
THAT ISN'T MINE
AND THEY
ALL WALK AROUND
ME IN THERE
OWN LITTLE WORLD
WITH THE
LACK OF SUGAR
IN MY COFFEE
THE BLACK
TO THE
LATTE I MAKE IT
SO ITS BEARABLE
FROM THE
BITTER
TO THE MILDER
STATE
ITS LIKE MY LIFE
YOU MAY NOT
HAVE ALL THAT
OTHERS TAKE FOR
GRANTED
AND YET INSTEAD
OF SAYING
THIS IS ALL THERE IS
SO WHY DO I TRY
YOU TAKE WHAT
YOU ARE GIVEN
AND WORK
WITH IT
TO MAKE IT
WORK FOR YOU
AND THEN
ALL COMES
TOGETHER
AND IS
TOTALLY WORTHWHILE
FOR IT MAY NOT
BE AS SWEET
OR AS NICE
BUT ITS
CERTAINLY
JUST AS
GOOD GOING DOWN
TO TAKE
THAT THIRST AWAY
IT FEELS GOOD
TO HAVE THE SENSES
THE ABILITY
TO TASTE
TO SEE
TO HEAR
TO BE
TO BREATHE
TO EXPRESS
TO LIVE
WHETHER WE
ROAM
OR WE STAY
SECURE
THERE IS ALWAYS
A PLACE
WE LAY OUR
HEADS DOWN
AND REST
TO REFRESH
IN THE NEW SITES
WE SEE
WHETHER
ITS THE SAME
PATH YOU TAKE
EVERY DAY
THERE IS ALWAYS
SOMETHING THERE
THAT WASN'T THE OTHER DAY
WHETHER ITS
IN THE SEASONS
CHANGING
THE PEOPLE COMING
OR GOING
OR THE SIMPLE
CHANGES OF
THE DIRECTION
YOU CHOOSE TO GO
LIFE IS
WHAT WE MAKE IT
LOVE IS
WHAT WE GAIN
FROM IT
AND ALLOW TO STAY
OR CHOSE
TO LET GO OF
AND
ITS WHAT
WE CHOOSE
TO BE
SO KNOW THIS
FROM NOW
ON
I WILL LOOK
IN THE SKY
AND
SEE WHAT
NO ONE ELSE SEES
AND SMILE
THE BIGGEST SMILE
THERE IS
FOR I AM HERE
ABLE TO WALK IT
TO SHARE IT
TO FEEL IT
AND TO BE
WHETHER ITS
COLD OR HOT
SWEET SMELLING
OR ROTTEN
SWEET OR BITTER
THERE ARE
ALWAYS WAYS
TO BE HAPPY
AMONG THOSE
THAT WISH YOU NOTHING
BUT ILL
WHETHER
ITS HISTORY
OR IN THE NOW
ITS THE FACT
WE HAVE
THE NOW
THAT COUNTS
SO THAT TOMORROW
WE CAN LOOK
AND SAY THOSE
WERE WONDERFUL TIMES
ITS THE MEMORIES
THAT KEEP US
ALIVE
IT IS THE WAY
WE EXPRESS WHO WE ARE
THAT KEEP US
IN LOVE
AND NOT HATE
ESPECIALLY
WHEN PEOPLE
WILL COME AND SAY
THEY WANT
OR TAKE
OR SEEK
FOR WHATEVER
IT IS THAT IS
LACKING IN THEM
HOPE THEY
FIND IT
AND CAN USE
IT BETTER THAN I COULD
I WILL GIVE
IT GLADLY
NO NEED TO TAKE IT
THERE ARE
WAYS TO ESCAPE
THE RAT RACE
WITHOUT
RESORTING
TO THE DARKSIDE
OF BEING
I MAY NOT HAVE
A LOT OF RICHES
YET I AM
VERY RICH
IN THE GRACE
FROM OTHERS
AND HOW I
WORK WITH THE LITTLE
THAT I AM GIVEN
TO KEEP
MY HEART
MY HEAD
IN SYNC
THERE IS NO WAY
TO FIND THAT
IT JUST IS
DEEP WITHIN
AND
STAYS
WHERE NO ONE
ELSE CAN TAKE
WHY SHOULD
I NOT SHARE
WHO I AM
WHAT I BELIEF
OR WHAT I CAN CREATE
WHY SHOULD
I STAY
IN A CLOSET
AND SIT ON A SHELF
LIKE A BOOK
NEVER OPENED
NEVER VIEWED
NEVER
OH NO NOT I
I AM A BOOK
THAT HAS BEEN
READ AND READ
AND READ
AND OPENED
MANY TIMES
BY MANY DIFFERENT FACES
AND THAT IS
THE BLESSING
IN THE CURSE
OF WHAT IT TRULY
MEANS
TO BE
IN THE SPACE
OF HUMANITY
