I have an axe
in one hand
and
an olive branch
in the other
because
I choose to confound
my enemies
and
any of those
who may wish
to befriend me
as well.  
No wonder
I stand in Isolation.
I alone Conquer

All the **** that happens
when you're lost
slipping back and forth
on the edge of reality
and what's meant to be
no firm ground
and waiting
for a final choice
to be made
by someone
other than me.

I want to know,
need to see
what's really meant
to be
and am unwilling
To step up and ask
for the things
that I need.

I dance in defiance
of things unsaid
waiting
for You to speak up
and take the lead,
knowing
it's the very least
you could do.

The knowledge
that no one else
is going to come forward
and save me
by doing the right thing
is a breath that echos
and slowly kills.

Lady Justice, blindfolded,
holding the scales
which way
will the pendulum
finally swing?
Held under the surface,
how long
till you will be able
to come up again
for clean air?

A choice at some point must be made,
so many before  you, what do you choose?

Wanting you
to make me who I am
and who you
are to become,
the directions fall
from beneath my feet
and i just want You to move forward
and make
a final choice
for the both of us.

Be a man, my man,
and draw the line
around us,
all that is and might possibly be,
rests in between
your potential
and love for me.

Will you draw
that final line,
And make
the ultimate save?

Does any of it really matter, Ultimately?
Sunyata (sanscrit for duality)
Everything Matters and None of it Matters, All at the Same Time.
We're getting deep now - pull out those hip waders!  
As Popeye would say, "I am's what i am's" - haha! I like to believe it all equals out in the end. Just Sayin'

Trying to plant my feet beneath the place
where I find myself today.
Always shifting, a step in any direction
will move me out of the way
before I'm run aground.

I stand step and sway
to a beat that's lost to me
in the light of the day
what once made sense
is now lost in the mix.

The ground beneath my feet is weak
trying to walk away
in a constant shifting slip

You take from me
all that was once sane
and leave me struggling to find land
where there is no possible gain.

I know what is right and true
but still you pull the ground
from beneath the foudation of my soul

Life carries on & forward whether we run behind trying to catch up, jump on board or stand crying in its dust. The best u can do is take a deep breath, let go & let it take u where it may. One way or another everything serves a greater final purpose sometimes visible to us, sometimes not & we just gotta trust that eventually we're gonna get to where we're supposed to be. One Destination, Many Roads!

It's all one big ******* joke and you know why no ones laughing? Because half of them don't get it and the ones who do know it's not really that funny!

In the Eye of the Storm

At the Center of the Whirling Vortex
do I Stand,

It’s Noxious Dust, Chaos & Destruction beset upon the land.

The Devastation
Laid Waste Before It
cannot of sense
be made.

When Man
has lost all logic,
and thoughts
of preservation tossed

thru the endless barren desert
we must somehow find
A Way to Cross.

When Words & Acts
are in Delusion
carried out
Life into Lunacy
it’s very Self careens,

Our means
of Course Correction left in Shaking, Weakened Hands.

A line drawn
in the sand
is where
Salvation’s found,
stepping over,
a move past must
for higher ground
be made

A surveillance point where the air
like our vision is clear,
no longer distorted, twisted, blind
by our own or other’s fear.

Only from this place can we look out to see
with Clarity
Another Future’s Possibility.

These Randomly Specific People
Wander Through
my life

Their tests upon
my limits lead
to newly found extremes.

cuz what I see in you
is what I see in me
A mirror of halls - reflecting endlessly

Everything
that’s ever been
and all that’s yet to be.

Peering through the Looking Glass,
delivered & returned
to a place
I’ve never seen,

In finding You,  
I find Me
a glimpse beyond
the veiled realm
that otherwise
is blind & gone

In your eyes is Clarity,
I want to Know,
I Have to See
that which lingers, hovering
A waiting destiny

Only to be found
by those who stare
into
the Deepest Mirrors

Standing Strong
and Brave Enough
to find
Their Own Pathway Clear.

Days gone by,
in my mind,
lost in time

I see you in
my passing dream
long away from me, soon to be found

You survive and complete all my songs.

In your eyes,
I see a summer gone by
beautiful tears,
lake so blue,
Searching for me,
I’m always looking
for you.

Girl you make me love,
you make me true,
in me, in you,
all I know

You make me full,
swimming your river so deep
I’m up to my neck
in You.

Twisted & Turned
Inside Out
I’ve become one entwined,
carefully woven piece
of a beautiful
intricately thrown pattern
the infinite tapestry of life.

Expanding to eternity in every direction,
all at once without end
across the endless expanse of existence,
with a reach
that can never
be exceeded.

Who could ask for more?
