Heart Prints

Treasure hunt

I am my own stunt

man

As I attempt to traverse

the land

Looking for diamonds

in the dust

of the settling

deconstruct

of us

 

Naked finger

Love's lonely

linger

A jewel long

sought

Dulls at the

feet of the battles

we fought

And yet, still, I know there

is hope

That's me at the end

of the rescuing 

rope

 

Let me pull you out

of the well

Let us break society's 

demon spell

We make our lives and love

what we want them

to be

You and me, shining again

No longer livin' in deep
chagrin

Place a ring of love on

a different digit of

mine

As we flip the finger to

the hill's deep

decline

We ain't going downhill

darling dear

We are on steady ground...

nothing to fear

 

Naked finger left

Hearts beating strong in

our chests

A new beginning, a new birth

of trust

Walk with me out of the

ruins

As we marry our heart prints

and footprints

with the diamond

dust

My Treasure

 

 

 

 

 

 

The crush of time

Pressure and patience

Married in a strange passion

play

Millions of minutes

Pressing down

Pushing us in directions

We may have never traveled

towards

 

Seeking that very thing

so valuable

Down deep in the caverns

and crevices

Where men crawl and

die in the dark

For all their seeking

 

What lies on top with us

now?

Is there no value on the

surface?

Must we wait for the wonders

of time?

 

Look at me.... now

I am here

You, are here

The sun is here
Grandmother moon here

The mighty wind.............. here

The trees and the flowers

The rain

The mountains

The oceans

All of this wonder

here

 

NOW

 

The world on the surface

is valuable

We are valuable

now

Right now

 

Let time crush

Let passion play

with

pressure

and patience

 

I am on the surface

with you

We need not seek

We are found

This is my treasure

NOW

Gifted Time

My eyes

dry

No more

tears to

cry

 

Over the hill

through the

river

Only peace

do I

deliver

 

to you

 

Time teaches

and it

takes away

Time heals

or it hurts

But I know

today

 

I am healed

 

What was given

is accepted

What was wrong

has been

rejected

 

It's all good

 

The time... the

trials

The triumphs

the connections

We walked the road

together

for a while

 

We taught each other

open and real

Till one new day

a new course

was

revealed

 

Set your course

and I set mine

See ya out there

along the road

When we are gifted

again with

time

The Stone, The Rocks, and the Boulders

Jewel created
Under pressure
Over rated....
Jewels
Cost too high
life exploited and lost in the
hunting of
Diamonds.....too much blood
when the jewel is the
Bounty sought

Instead, let us seek
the honesty of gifting
love to ourselves
Stones and rocks...boulders
are bountiful
Wrap me a stone
Hang it from a cord
Place it around my neck....
then kiss me in the nape, like you do....
Yeah, like that

No jewel do I crave
Gift me:
A kiss
A touch
A moment shared
A single shadow thrown
long and lazy across the Universe
As we walk with the
stones and rocks
And boulders

Jewels.... I need them not
Too much blood
The treasures carpeting the Earth
below my feet
On my path
Gift me with those....
Lover

Gift those to me
As you walk it with me
As we paint the Universe in our
shadow single and long
and lazy...sweet like
black licorice
on our tongues

Follow a Fool?

Destroy the lies
living inside
you

Blow the walls down
Knock away the bricks
that occlude your sight

Turn that sight
inward
The truth lives there

Follow a fool
will you?
Why?

The sage you are
is who
you are to be
No one else can
ever be the truth inside you

Only a fool full of fear would
profess to
know your truth

Fools are given the name for a reason

Become your inner sage
finally
Release the teachings of fools

Wisdom is not grown
in the fertilizer
of others

Fools fear our freedom
Be gone, fools

Only you can grow
the truth of your inner sage
That truth waits to germinate
and then sprout
then grow and flourish

Be gone, fools

Destroy the lies
living inside
you

Regain the you
you were
Before the fools
took your truth
and trampled it dead..
right before your young, wise
inner eyes

Reclaim the sage
inside
of you

When the dust of the glorious destruction settles
You will see what I know
YOURS is the only truth to seek
Anything else is a lie fearfully forced on you by FOOLS

Foregone Conclusion

Once a mighty river flowed here

The water was wild and clear

There was life and energy

for as far as the eye could see

The rapids were white and roaring

Eagles flew high above, soaring

Time and ignorance has halted the flow

A fading memory remains from long ago

How does a mighty river of resource just die

Did no one notice its pain or hear its cry?

Now that it is gone, a victim of our illusions

What can we learn from the foregone conclusion

that humans matter more than the place we live

That all other life is here to assist and give

to us, and not the other way around

Are we such fools that we would kill the sacred ground

That sustains us?

Can history retrain us?

Will future generations forgive us?

Will our planet out live us?

Or do we all die

together?
