Trust in rest

The idea that rest

Can be scheduled somehow

Is like the idea that life

Will be morefully lived

Once you have or have had

Or willed what is to is

And it won't

Ever

Trust me

Behind all curtains

Behind all curtains

At the end of scenes

Neath credits which roll

Know this something about me

Not when young

But always and regardless of old

I am anxious for life

And for over and free

I am nervous about failure

Not for you but, more selfishly, for me

Because I do not rest well

Atop the grave of memory

No, instead I find myself excited

To be done

And in my own perception to be

From myself most obviously "Free"

Un-focus

People respect achieved focus

Results result from a lack of life

Because focus requires

This unilateral sight

Which means you see less

Of at least one kind of light

Be it before or at dusk

Make sure what you're building

Is both what you really want

Like

And also what is right

Make sure

Lest you look up

And miss your own life

Maintenance

Time is a life

To those who lived

And worked and slept

There before

You had ever arrived

And yet

All that time

Is but a resulting decay

Neath a once kept house

And such hours from now are far away

From you at present

Don't you see?

Hearts which ache always turn

A heartache

Never truly goes away

Or so I find

Instead it turns

And in directive measures

Find

Itself a new aching direction to take

When ine ache dies

Inevitably

Another one awakes

And cries

Nights Rise

And when night falls
It is only for a spell
Undercast and gray
In growing return once again
Like the grass in spring
Or the sun in morn
No night alone was felled
It was not fallen
Into anything but a dream
For it is here
And with each eveing after dark
A new moonlit star is born

How she sleeps

Sleep

True sleep

Is something of which

I so often dream

And wish for this whilst

I am awake

And she

Rest peacefully by mea

Without a fear in the world

How I wish I could be

Such a person

So far away from self

As her

When she dreams

I wish

Remebering a cup

Do you
Remember
The minor coffee
The major cup
Which you held at this time
Two weeks ago
?

The average man
Will not
Think not
Having not
Thought
About such
.

This
Is the nature of life
Once gone
Once hot
Once we felt like it was
Enough.

But now we've forgotten
And have moved on
To another cup

Time is, a tanka

Time is friendly in

The presence of those most close

Who we have since chose

But falls like a stone down down

Am unmotivated well

An envious shadow

Envy is

The unspoken

And unsung song

Which hums a tune

Of "I totally could"

But you won't

You cease to move a shadow

For the entirity of

The day is long

Sensors and such

In regards to those visual people

Who see for others

As compared those

Who see only for themselves

An enjoyment of sip

Or a slight distraction on a shelf

Of these I am one

Of the prior eyes most found

In the smaller substance of life

For there is detail like sand

In the visual experience of those stroking sensors

Which is all, not for them

But still and in moving

All around

Unbridled

Ambition is fine

Goals and motivation

Provoke pursuit of the unknown

Of the excellence

And the performance which mimics the divine

And yet

And yet

Be reminded of this

Your pursuit is not your own

Social animal of small

For as surely as you stand

Those around you not supported

Will undoubtedly fall

And at your hand no less

If you're not aware of this

Your unbridled self

Wishing all and all

(To be)

My most grounded love

Care as I become
Not lofty like clouds
But rooted like trees
In the knowledge of love
More stead than any fanciful breeze
For you
Yes you
Are my most grounded existence
And l am happily found
In the soil of your love
Which is more natural and kind
More self-sacrificial and sound
More in-cluded in-depth
And with vegetation all around
Moreso than any other rocky outcliff on which
I was previously found
Trying to settle down
And go
No
For it is you
Which will forever be to me
A garden

Echos which echo

Sometimes a song

Sings out to not where you are or were

But to where you'd like to be

In the future years of your being

And what has yet to come into this

Being

Yes this

Sometimes this

So it sings

And your hear it as such

Regardless of the intended singers personal meaning

It is

Selfish self focus in the distance

I often pray for things
Out of my selfish being

And sadly with views
Turning towards these
Preceived horizons of me

I still look and look
And look upon
Distant futures of me

Without once a true thankful though
Given to the very cup set before me

And on this front
My eyes, could be better in being

In their perceptiveneaa newed
With new seeing

Amen

Freedom from self time

Don't bother me

Though all around may be busy

Know this

That I am nowhere to be found

Yet alive as all the birds and bees

And breathing as connected leaves

Not afraid of falling

For I stand in heart

Just as securely as my frame

Sits now

In this pictures of american small town

When I am free I am free

And this is nit writing at all

To me

Dictation

No matter how hard you try
You cannot ever truly dictate
What a gift once given
To the world will be

For when it first left you
It became
And will always be
It's own separate and unique thing

No longer you
But once in seeing
And no more merely yours
But now free

This is the nature
Of the accepted internal
Fated breath and beating
Once forced into being

Fleeting strength

Strength

True strength

Is a stand alone thing

The kind of act or walk

Which requires footprints

Upon which noone else sees

Or seems even set upon to limp

This is the nature of these

Strong moments of self

Enduring and at ease

Is this version of me

For now it seems

I am free to

Flee
