In a dream, at night  

I know a Place, I wander in helplessly

Where the land holds the answers

Where the lake meets the minds eye

In a blink, the climb is not so high

Right here, where the water meets the sky

Beauty 

Close up, nose touching mirror

Dance of light bright clever

Browns, golds, blues and greens

Black and white lashes and creams

Flecks of color chips, dimensional hues

Life force evidence, beauty fortitude

Undeniable strength

Amazing reminder

We are so much more than this

Close up, nose touching mirror

Atom and Eve

 On the Eve of brilliance

That of December or perhaps January

Spontaneous or coincidence, no matter

 

The dawning affixed with pleasure

Questioning not again

Empowered by the next chapter

 

The light of laser bridges the nothingness

Imaging anticipatory claims

Atoms Ignite the Eves a splendor

Volcanic explosion delight

In rapture aflame

Creating composted earth and rock

Filtered, encouraged, water meet air

 

And so it goes

Within the eves

The Atoms explode

No Matter. Matter.

Almost twenty

One night my life turned to Midnight

The drum was so loud I drowned

It out

The scream screamed with me

Painted daisy dew drops underneath a secret porch

Today is?

 Tomorrow the same

The final outcome, A downpour

STOP SIGN

Who am I without misery?

Incomplete

If misery loves company then how do I get out?

I see myself bold, beautiful, more than others

But not enough..... Still

Get me out of this almost twenty hell

Your Journey, you decide 

Let the money come

Anyway anyhow

Let the money come

Invest it, build it, make it, create it

Slurp it up, savor it, yum yum

Let the money come

Careful dreamers

Firefly dreaming, dreaming up the world

Calm him, praise him,

Make no mistake obey him

 

Alive within the eyes of the tiniest bird

A maze opens up to another kind of world

Of rain, of light, of wintry weather

Dreaming erupts to life’s’ simple pleasures

No good nor bad, no happy or sad

A state of grace

With nothing to dread

 

Careful careless dreamers

You are dreaming up the world
