an excerpt of this escape
How are we able to feel so extraordinary
Yet so simple,
At the same time?
To exist within this life,
To feel a sense of direction,
Yet we can't seem to pinpoint it
When I look at this reflection.
--is where we are all headed.
Like waves drawn to the shore.
We dream farther
Love stronger
Hit harder
Feel bigger
And fall faster,
Because in our brain,
It is embedded;
Our thoughts threaded-
-intertwined with desire.
The need for more.
As our fists filled with hate,
Because we fill with fear,
There is no reflection.
The water is not clear,
A magnetic pull through the atmosphere
Is known to control our tides.
Puppet master’s pure intent
Set on the rhythmic flow
Of those currents,
Colliding
The scene balanced,
The scene; serene.
Nothing to fear
Simplicity exists where there is nothing to hide,
Where does forward movement begin
If our mind is set on rewind...
A gaze set beyond the shore
Or half moon bay,
To be swept up
With a visit from the water,
Afloat,
Eyes set on the moon,
Lay lady lay,
Where she always abides.
Up in a lit sky,
To sing to her, to dream with her.
And maybe she will carry some of me home to you
on one of her rides.
