Numb

awake and wonderin 

i listen to the song 

you sang to me that day 

when everything was wrong

music like a memory

brings your face to mind

and here i am

awake and wonderin

alone with the silence

the emptyness within

softly singing

breath against cool skin

i close my eyes, recalling

you're here with me again

i smile dispite myself

lookin in your eyes

and wonder how a person

can feel so alive

History

years of evolution

recall the bitter cold

ancestral hairs raise up

against a skin of pale gold

this is no solution

though the effort does persist

and yet I will survive

against cold winter's wish

Delightful!

With just a brief

glimpse

into the world

with life as short

as mine, it's easy

to remember

life still

will end, with time.

My purpose her is simple,

to proliferate

my species

much to your delight.

Study of a Soul

I study your face

finding piercing blue eyes

that hold some unanswered question.

My heart breaks again

as I watch you smile

away the thoughts

on your mind.

You stare right back into my eyes.

One second goes by

like a hundred years

While I struggle to turn my eyes

away from the mind

that so intrigues mine,

wondering who it was that you saw

when you looked into my soul.

There are many faces

wandering there

their own thoughts battle

the one

who, working to

maintain control

finds her grip slipping on this

young soul.

Born in an age where control is above

all else

--the means to survive

only those who persist

with the strength of an old mind

will

For the love of the world.

The species Homo sapiens has unarguably made the largest impact upon the Earth. By shaping and reshaping its landscapes, manipulating biological and chemical processes, and exploiting the species we share the biosphere with, humans have made the Earth their own. This possession comes with a responsibility to cultivate, care and repair—but without a united understanding of the importance of this responsibility the Earth will eventually have to fight back on its own. With ice, fire and rain, the balance will eventually be regained until the next dominant species becomes too greedy as well. The retribution has already begun; those who have realized this are fighting to educate the remainder of the species, to instill the knowledge and appreciation of the Earth and its systems in the young, with hope that they have time yet.

Good vs. Evil?

In the fight to survive
there are only two sides,
them versus us.
Who are we to define
who is that ultimate devine
in the battle between them versus us?
To them we are evil
and to us they're the same,
and to not pick a side is to most just insane.
Between worlds the evils always seem to change,
but a person can get lost in the darker shades of gray.
The innocents in either world are always the same,
and somehow they also make the easiest prey.

Neo

New year New breath New start New hope

I take a risk and once again

can feel the weight of the pen

as I work to tame the rampant thoughts

and dare to dream again

I watch the cold icy wind blow around my fragile skin

and yet I'm numb from within

observing without feeling, seems like sin

but take the chance and start to feel a flicker here and there-- so real

and suddenly I've broken free

I recall who I once used to be

and laugh out loud to think that I

almost let this flicker die

Cause I'm only human, as they say

I'll live this life day to day

and with a prayer on my lips

I leap into the snowy drifts

Traffic like the roar 11.07.2008

Traffic like the roar

of an automatic ocean,

I close my eyes and dream so far away.

and with a breath

I’m there once more

sun warm on my face.

you call me back to reality

and I Tear my mind away from serenity

all is lost for eternity

you take my hand to lead me away

into the cold darkness which comes

only after that last flickering light which is life

is but out by the icy cold breath of death himself.

I wake, gasping, blinded by sunlight

as I am once more reborn,

given another chance to find the answer.

I journey on 06.18.2008

I fly above with watchful eye

to journey home

at last will i.

From places where

the ocean’s

 coast rush

 to meet the sloping shore,

past ancient bearded mountains

full of lore

I journey on.

o’er deep red stone the waters hewn

their path and paths to come

I journey on o’er rich gold fields

which glint and sway on wind’s heels

I journey home

to emerald valleys where rivers flow

and hidden there,

beneath the leaves,

you’ll find my heart,

though quivering.

although I’ve seen the wonders hidden

behind the shadow of the earth

a place both harsh and intricate,

a place for my rebirth

I long for peaceful quiet

and the hint of music

magic

beckoning me home.

sun rise sun 11.24.2008

sun rise sun

illuminates transparent skin

i watch You breathe

a silent moment You

look at me

eyes saying everything

don't be so afraid

i pull You close

Your lips wet

against my skin

feel You tremble at

my touch

You're safe with me, 

love

You're safe with me. 

sun rise sun

bring your warmth

dry these tears

and breathe once more

i'll be Your light now

close Your eyes

and sleep child sleep

oh sun rise sun
