Activities of Thomas King

Today I looked at a face and was confused, the face looked very familiar to me but I could not place it. As I gazed into the eyes I was suddenly drawn in by their softness and understanding and by the passion for life they held within.
I noticed a hint of a smile on the lips as the other gazed back at me, the kind of smile one gives to a child to reflect understanding and love. The cheeks and forehead were creased with lines to indicate a hard life's journey but also the knowledge and wisdom it gained from the long roads traveled.

As I reached to touch the face I noticed it reaching for me as well, I realized this and suddenly drew back my hand. As I did so I must have startled the other as it drew back its hand as well. I opened my mouth to apologize and at the same time the other must have been thinking the same, we then cocked our heads and looked at one another with bewilderment and surprise as to our seemingly timed movements, not understanding the reason for this but knowing there was a connection between us that was far beyond our comprehension.

I smell the essence of your being
on the warm summer air
as the wind tickles my face
like small strands of your hair.

Hurry and get it over with
Don't make me wait
Please let me know now
Reveal to me my fate

Rushing and speeding
Our lives seem fleeting
Not caring who we run down
In the process of time cheating
...

The light on my face
The sun on my skin
I start this new life
But where to begin
...

I said you were hot
You told me you were not
I told you that you were fine
You said it was just another line
...

I said you were hot
You told me you were not
I told you that you were fine
You said it was just another line

Evil abound in the dark night air
The watcher is waiting
As you feel its blood thirsty stare
...

Do not weep for me now
For I am back in my mother's arms

Do not morn another day
...

You are the moon
Orbiting my world

Controlling the tides
