a darkness so softly

I shed a tear in solace
I shed a tear for a friend
a tear for the darkness
that lightens their heavy shackles
understanding only brings conflictions,
and rarely does our anger
change anything
but that which is in ourselves.
I shed a tear as a prayer
to a God I owe to greatly
to petition for anything,
what vain are my words
how hollow my deeds
that are seen.
but I shed a tear in solitude
for a friend in a darkness
that overcomes the best
and lays so softly
and weighs so heavy

a stream unto reflect

If I was a trickle

trickle in a stream

as though a memory

once caught in a dream

would you wander unto

the banks of solace reflection

and quench to remember

our time as thee

neither/nor

I tell not my heart to beat
neither my eyes to weep
nor my heart to wonder and seek
it is my soul that which rest the choice
upon me

someone else’s

There are many lives
and equally as many worlds
upon this earth,
you will not always be the good person
in yours, but you can be a good person
in someone else’s.

chronictize song

of a dream

I dreamed a dream of want and must
I dream a dream from childhood spoke
I dreamed a dream eyes opened and closed
I dream a weeping dream and one of hope
yet when I dream of neither want nor lust
I woke to find something much more
