Silhouettes in the sunset, perfect flow

No muscle is eternal
No arm afire is ever unextinguished, sadly
Though we wish and wish
To say we were in truth
Right there when the stone was carved above
And yet this human nature concludes
That we were such here
But in noways meant
To last a day longer
Than this

Sights, perfect flow

A wish for eyes
For ears
For light
Creates
No less
A deeper breath
Than a gasp
Of human surprise
At this
Yet again
Most impeccable
Most private
Most distracting
Most smiling
Ever of sights

Adult homes, perfect flow

Eventually

All homes become created by

Not created for

That inner child in you

No matter how hard you try

Grows more tall

And away from its original self

Until there is no more

Except bought and wood and stone

And memories to adore

Of other children growing up

Until thwir own childhood is no more

Concrete and canvases, perfect flow

A more simple man

Is not wrong to be

Or to have a mind set

Be it in buckets or concrete

But I

But I am

Not or neither

Any of these

So much so the concrete mixers

Is ever regarded as an artist

But overlooked perhaps

Us both

So similarly

To serve, perfect flow

Service is not an evil thing
To give back and give
The moral ebb and flow
Of blessing and being
And of promise to be

So long as your heart-stead beat
Is in line and in tune
With the song of true service
Than you are
Exactly where you belong to be

And if your heart is not
Then perhaps you should
Consider something of your own
So as not forever to be in distruth
Stuck in living to be

Never a waste, perfect flow

Don't ever look back

And say

"Ah, what a waste..."

Instead

Turn the globe

And see your travels for what they are

A certain time

A certain wish

A certain you

In a certain place (no more)

For that is the point of traveling, to end

Just as all lives do

So please, don't waste

The true best is, perfect flow

The kind of people who cheat

Are those who know not

How not to look

For something perceived to be

Somehow better than

This beautiful bright light of first day

Of reality

And I

Smile happily to the sky

Every dawn to see

My Saria bright as an eternal sun

And reflective light

Like the moonlight of Christ

And with she is free

In unity

You are far more free

Saria clear, perfect flow

These puddles have not
A comparative chance
Nor the obvious features
Reflective clarity
Or depths of future prosperity
Which you so clearly exude
From both meters to miles down
In uniqueness


Saria

Silent self, perfect flow

This beautiful silence

Is to me

A broken wish

An ignored thought

A wonderful day which could be

But won't

At least until

I am allowed to be more

Than a bump on a log

In a river of contemplative thought

From these old ways, of idleness

I am most definitely

Lost

Homeward heart, perfect flow

On this the eve

Of another depart

I say and stay

To my steady homeward heart

I will return

We will indeed

To be with you again

Most comfortably so

And worry about me

Not so much

As now I am

And so much more

Of the capable and of the know

In regards to my making homes

Far away from you

More cozy and now

Less more than ever before

Alone

No more

Not so ever

Jazz, perfect flow

I will only know

If I really like jazz

When I first hear it live

And in ears alove

Hopefully above

As such beats lift me high

And higher than any drug has known

For I am sober

Always

Look up, perfect flow

The floating words
To you in the sky
Will never be know (to be)
As they were intended
In this moment united
As the wings of planes
And birds do fly
Across and through
This unified canvas of white
And cloudy lines
Of sky

Look up and see
This intentional

Me

Pairings, perfect flow

Every

I ought to be

Should be paired

In tune

With every you did

You were

You won

Such a song

And so as should

These youthful days of growth

Not be forgotten

Like a first promise lost

So soon

Killing you faster, perfect flow

And then what?

It'll kill you faster?

As you've traded your youth

For access to what?

The right not to worry?

About something so trivial

As living once was?

I mean

Was it lived at all?

Aside from your want?

These are questions?

I doubt it

Hours Ago, perfect flow

Hours ago
My hearts pace ached for you
My silent place

In mind away
From self alike
Who I knew so well

And all too well and now I see
That the only person
Keeping me from freedom was

Through the doorway into meaning

What is it

To be truly pulled

From your body

Through mind

Into a presence

Previously unknown

Most suddenly though

Beneath door eaves

And between

The wooden entryway to

A most inviting scene

Where you be

And become

A most engaged

And yet present of being

And the song

Once you've sung

Has unrolled

There, in true involvement

You are singing

Free at last

Status

I write now

As my mind has been

In so many places alive

As of late

That I fear not death

Or in some ways to die

But here

In this place of minor space and breath

I wait

For the words to beath

And speak their lungs into

A smokey existence new

And for that I wait

And for as much time take

I sit until such a speech is renewed

Crackle me, a tanka

Crackle me like a

Rustic fire from a strike

Of my fathers match

Until winter memory's

Are warm and near like a flame

Desire bursting, a tanka

When a desire

First takes hold and a small spark

Bursts into being

And then, most suddenly is

A warm light you should enjoy
