Save the Art

A drop of water
Falls from the furthest reach
Onto modern art in the garden:
Flushing the angles of the sculpture
And moistening the gum
Someone had stuck
to the bottom of it.

Longing For

I can almost feel her touch

Delicate and soft, but meaningful

It screams to my idle soul that she exists

She is waiting somewhere to be found

I am longing for the path to find her.

I promise the world that I will go anywhere

But will I do that much?

Will I be strong enough to take that leap?

I have a thousand words that I can say

Without doing anything or saying anything

Just sitting in my chair looking at my words

Which almost jump out of my paper

They are saying: “Be free!”

They say: “Go find the girl you were made for!”

But I’m still seated here, stuck by some hope

That longing for someone hard enough

Will bring them to you

Time Flies

I looked at the television screen

In an absence of things to do

What can this extra time mean?

What if time flew?

I think that the meaning of life

Comes from us knowing what to do

When we are absent of strife

Life takes forever and a day to go through.

Heaven-Song

When without my window a bird called
Early in the morn before the wind stirred
The sun was yet to rise, and through tired eyes
I looked outside to see the source of heavenly music
I turned in my bed and placed my feet on the floor
Then put on my coat quickly and ran for the door.
I must take note of this lowly bird:
It deserves to be heard loud and clear
Its song shouted to the rooftops of the world

Finding Meaning

I wish that I had found my stumbling feet

I wish that I had left it more to chance

Left my thoughts written on the broken street

(Left the little things on a street in France)

My sanity could not come closer though

My brain cannot handle the strain unknown

That must come whenever I still must go

That held me bound in chains down to the bone

I cannot comprehend the final hour

So I write to try to see the new fate.

Alas, I see the new bloom’ed flower

And I see what humans have missed to date!

Simplistic messages of what to give

That people searching find the will to live
