So many times... In many different ways... The tree gave up its fruit... To be picked by us... Shiny...brilliant Ripe... Ready to be eaten... Even if forbidden... It grew tired of waiting... Those trees bear no fruit now... And how you used to beg the moon... Praying to it... To deliver to you... It did... Gave you the answer right in front of you Sent a comet... With a beautiful tail... And once again you let it out of sight... Knowing it would come back... Just not knowing when...
Walk barefoot in the orchard... In the midday light... Rotting. Waiting. So much fruit. For you. And you did nothing
All this life has taught you So many lessons And it’s done giving them to you... Take what’s on the ground & Make a pie...
Is to lose sight of you To say ‘I’m taking a break...I’ll be around though’ Then disappearing Going away Forgetting Then 10, 15, 20 years Down the road Seeing you and saying ‘Hey you...remember me?’
My dream last night My children 11 and 16 now In the dream my son Was 4 again And he was sobbing Uncontrollably Told him to catch his breath Kept ******* air Trying to explain Why he was wronged But only tears came out So I held him Close to my chest And he fit And it subsided And he just let it out Then the smell of them as babies Came upon me How they’d sleep on me My chest How I love being a dad They live with their mom a mile From me But it might as well be a Million And now I’m sobbing uncontrollably ******* air With no one to Tell me it’s going to Be ok... The sadness is so overwhelming this morning
Metal strewn about... Fires of jet fuel reek the air... Intermittent A shoe Seat 12A Tray table Heat from fuel pit Raging Zombies walking about Dazed Survivors Smeared with black Seats 17C & 24B Still strapped in Just torsos & A tie Fuselage Upside down Body part unidentifiable Papers Came down in cornfield Scorched earth Yellow inflatables strewn Crumpled Caved in Inferno Sunlight peeking thru... 5,000 pieces How could anybody survive this?
In the game of love It isn’t who races the fastest To get to you who wins ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, But the one who stays While all the others Leave After the race Is over...
