Look up
See yourself
How can you not fall in love
Every time?
How can you not…
I live happiest
In your thoughts of me
In your prayers for me
In your words
In your laughter
In your mind
Where you make me
Who I have always wanted to be
There
I live happiest in your thoughts of me
Just a little longer
Slow down my dear soul
Learn to slowly sip the wine
Let it burn as it goes down
Let it take it’s own sweet time
Slow down my dear heart
Fall in love and fall real hard
Then sit still and slowly break
Gently touch each jagged shard
Slow down my dear mind
In your rush to win each war
Learn to savor each drop you bleed
Win at home, don’t go far
Let me sit in the fire more
And slowly get a little stronger
Let me learn to give time more time
And be still, a little longer
No other
A sip to remember
A sip to forget
Pour me one more
No regret
I have tasted the best
And no other is same
I keep drinking and hoping
To get drunk again
Green
In the radiance of green
Hides the hint of the gold
What is young right now
Hides the hint of the old
In the clear blue skies
Floats one gentle cloud
Against the brilliant laughing blues
The tears wear a shroud
In the still waters of time
Flow the rivers of age
In the mirror’s reflection
Hides the perfect sage
In the thunder of silence
Are the answers to my why
We gaze intently at each other
My mirror and I
Unbroken
I am the sum of many parts
And each part made of more
You can only break what you see
That is all, and no more
But keep breaking and you see
Each jagged part is whole
For star dust remains unbroken
Even shattered to the core
Shatter
Everything must break
To let the light shine through
The body
The mind
The heart
For only when shattered
Can I be star dust again
Immortal
You look up at me
And smile
I see my reflection in your eyes
I know I will for sure
Live on forever in you
Today
And I smile
As I whisper to myself—
Today
Again and again
May I express my gratitude
For where else and with who else
Can I be myself
And get to ask unashamedly
Again and again
Do you love me
And you smile, and tell me
Over and over
Every time
Yes
The dark night
Nothing like a long dark night
To make me see the world upright
To make me see
I am perfectly fine
The silence of stars
is not their crime
Reflections
It is only when I see myself
Reflected in your calm
That I can fall in love
With my fire and my storm
If
If words are wine
Pour me some more
If silence is golden
I want drunken uproar
If these steps go to heaven
Let the wise men go
I just want to sit here
Pour me some more
I walk
I have nowhere to be
I have no one to meet
No pilgrimage to take
No glory path to make
No treasures to seek
No promises to keep
One step ashes
One step fire
Never a second step
For anything higher
One step hope
One step love
Never a second step
For any heaven above
I can take this one slow
And just walk
I have nowhere to go
But I walk
I see you
I see you, you know
Your each advance and retreat
Like the swell and wane of the heart
with each untiring beat
Your half that is bold
In its reaching out
And the other, unsure
Retreats, your desires untold
I see you and know you
Your longing crest and break to shore
Your despair in each fade
To only come back seeking more
