our rose vines are growing, and their clawed, knotted fingers scratch against the dirt.
the trees stand strong and tall like ships in a sea of green grass.
there’s a fly buzzing around here somewhere,

inspire in yourself what will inspire others
forge a new path and others will follow
have a mind of your own and others will think
humble yourself and you will be proud

i was digging in wet sand
scoff, scoff, the shovel sighed
until i hit the water
and a small moon rock
...
outside my window stands a Tree
his ancient posture incomplete
his green leaves whisper in the breeze
he rents his arms to birds and bees
...
harvest moon in the clear black sky
these are the things i love.
...
sometimes i feel that music
is all the same
is all connected
is not original

“by endurance we conquer”
said the man to his haggard crew
“the soul, the heart, and every part
synchronized will pull us through.”
...
if jesus calls me second-best
if i was made from man
if i must keep my sermons silent
i suppose i was made what i am
...
little red robin outside the glass
catching all the rain on a dreary day
i knew nothing of his past
but i felt familiar with him anyway
...
close your mouth
keep your ears open
sing silent words
tell me how you really feel
...
