DAKOTA AUSTIN Poems

Your Eyes Are Open
But You Do Not See
Still I’m Hopin’
That One Day We
...

Not sure which way the wind is blowin’
False or true no way of knowin’
Into the tangled web he’s woven
In blind haste foolishly dove in
...

Take the Narrow Path
To Holy Trinity Turnpike
Turn righteous onto the Jesus Bridge
Go directly to Christ Crossing
...

Way T-o-o Much Talky Talky
I Go Away for L - o - n - g Walky Walky

Foolishly, always On the Take
...

R = RELATIONSHIP
E = EVALUATED...
L = LETTING
I = IT
...

There’s nothing to fear
And nothing to dread
Don’t worry ‘bout visions
That dance in your head
...

You take my love to higher places
That it’s never gone before
My heart beats now with tender paces
You cause my soul to soar
...

Though the times be rough
No need to complain
Pick yourself up
And try it again
...

If my heart could speak
What would it say
Would it say that it’s tired
And can’t take anymore
...

I feel so much better, crawled out of my bed
Out from under the covers that buried my head
Shook off the flu, and the feelings of dread
Hunger had found me, went and got myself fed
...
