this happens every time.

knock me off of my feet but
i think its time for me to start walking again
and stop running away from this
the next time you see me
i will be singing a new song
i am learning to

shine on.

academic poses

and I've been changing
faster than I can see
I don't even know me sometimes

It's not easy
Growing out of small things
Spreading those big wings and taking flight

and what I was is behind me
and what i will be is moving on
that leaves little space
to look at the moon's face
before the day breaks and she is gone

someone just like you.

desire

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The wateras higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire 

quite simple really.

Please, remember me
Happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention

MY FEELINGS

Darling, 
you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter.  I do 
not know what I am 
writing this letter, or what this letter is supposed 
to be about, but I am writing it nonetheless, 
because I love you very much
and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write 
this letter.  
I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do 
not 
understand for someone you love. 
Your Father

why i wake early

hello, sun in my face.
hello, you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety

best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light

good morning, good morning, good morning.

watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.
