The mountain flattens upon approach

The mountain flattens upon approach

The farther from the fear overcome the more it diminishes in fortitude becoming a belittling lesson to the untried. The further the source of blame escapes to time the more it expands to associate its hate. The worst gathers shade around us blocking the best like an eclipse But it exists in a projected collection … Continue reading »

Expecting the other to come

Expecting the other to come

The calm rests in the valleys of our lives between action, response and the chaotic push of opposition. And while the swirl wraps around us always we sleep in the shade when possible and wake to pick ideas from the maelstrom, fight or lose to the strength of others with more experience. Wishes motivate but … Continue reading »

Settling to misunderstand

Settling to misunderstand

Return to fix the forgotten and answer the lingering careless inquiry flung from a curious but unaffected mind, and try to find your value in an errant thank you. People can’t understand others they don’t know nor will ever be. Hide in the mind so as not to hear others, stewing assumptions, to serve a … Continue reading »

Options lost to habit

Options lost to habit

In your absence charged devices splay across your side of the bed hoping for them to speak to me and if not, providing peace knowing that at any time they may light up the night with fake entertainment. It’s not something I want to keep remembering despite it’s merit for lessons and those who know … Continue reading »

The low stone wall between us

The low stone wall between us

Explore without assumption, the low stone wall crumbling between. Asking questions assumes a direction and drives there. All the while, referencea rotate in place. Understanding everything dissipates thought. Unspooling each thread to find a connection, scaling knowledge to over-see others, still standing on the sinking ground of time, expiring details useless for the future. Not … Continue reading »

Family remedy

Family remedy

We teach children the future of our assumptions, And treat our elders with a reflection of their past, Or our agreement of what that should have settled out to by now, While the youth nods ahead like the bow in the current. Anything accomplished, Invites blame, Hanging in wait of recognition, Forever dangling in spite, … Continue reading »

Emerging from behind eyes

Emerging from behind eyes

Pain relieves shame when you aspire to build a monument beyond reproach but the reach extends until rest outlives intent and perfect myths shed glory to grow regret again. Hear this dozens enough and it passes through like the common knowledge of another’s opinion. If any more skepticism sets in. Beyond hundreds by then we … Continue reading »

Rainy days

Rainy days

Each day the cold weighs the clouds down to cry on us out of pity to deprive us of bright warmth and the mud collects under the stunted flowers trampled by hail, we will rise when clear and better for it. The morning fog weighs lids clinging to dreams of restless nights fighting to break … Continue reading »

Old relative

Old relative

The old fish fight to return to the same While the young ones easily flee for the new The irrelevant seek the familiar and the young struggle against existing yet the current flows in their favor dodging the carcasses of the past. Imagination and creativity grow solutions, while practice and knowledge enacts them. The elements … Continue reading »

Nobody really knows

Nobody really knows

Rainbows guide the morning search amazing among squalls until a turn reveals a crowd out in the drizzle surrounding the recently deceased beside the wreck framed by colored droplets soaking shadows. The core knotted from yesterday’s effects, exaggerating that not yet still. A smell enters the stagnant place bathed in rain bringing familiar like an … Continue reading »
