It's all just numbers, isn't it?
Day by day,
Year by year,
Always counting.

Day by day look at the number on the scales.
Let the caloric calculator count until your head is filled with numbers.

Minute by minute count the seconds it takes for him to text you back.
Let the doubt and fear multiply until your head is full of him.

Term by term let a percentage on a piece of paper define your worth.

Don't we have better things to do than count?

as
my soul
journeyed across
the
stiff
tightrope
across
the
red river gorge
where
my
legs felt like
cockatoo green bamboo stilts
that
emptied out

i need to stop
setting myself on fire
to keep you warm.

I live as a vessel of pure light.
Shadow does not rest with this form.
I see the world as an expression of my own self.
Love abides as all being.
We come only to discover this One Truth.
All the longing and movement of life
serves only to highlight the Divine within.
We are One.

laugh at yourself
laugh at life
enjoy yourself
enjoy life
time is short
in the age of earth
have fun now
its a long death

timeless places
held tight
arrested lifetime

twilight sun
golden water
exhale
breathe the day

If life becomes the inadvertent path of sorrows, it becomes a complete tragedy.

The voice is yours.
The name is mine.
You added the tune
to my exhaled breath.
The voice is yours.
The effort is mine.
