Dove
04:05
|
|||
|
A dove dressed in rain,
heavy on the beak,
seeking a way,
a way to your hands,
to help you confess
They’re all here, around you,
to forgive you
Snow hitting stone
Ruins coloured white
A legend, engraved,
buried and lost
The sound of the leaves,
flickering in your chest
The million deer released
when you say the words

Eyes seeing eyes
05:56
|
|||
|
Eyes,
seeing eyes,
seeing eyes,
forming worlds
And skin,
feeling skin,
hearing scars,
speaking words,
my words
Hands,
seeking hands,
breaking free
to learn to land alone
a thousandth time
Hearing you
listening,
once again,
in constant flow

Sun, astray
05:19
|
|||
|
Worn out past,
stay lost
Second hand light
Reflections off of red leaves
Passed down alps
leading the sun astray
A sleeping spark
explodes
And reminds me of everything,
of days seen,
of pain had,
in constant flow
Rearranging lights
guiding
Glass colonnade,
next to eternal
Why not break
to contemplate the ruins?
A newfound arch
takes form
And reminds me of everything,
of days seen,
of pain had,
in constant flow
A birch,
right by the grave,
growing
See through its eyes
the far and the near
Speak through its mind
the sound of hope
In emptiness,
roaring,
you will discern
the new moon hiding

Moon, astray
03:41
|
|||
|
In your own waters
in your zone, stopping not for nobody
smoke coming out the holes marking out the long walkway
Your soul’s calling for the slow calmness gotta go all in
You both are in what the poet thought was the prologue
but you’re the sole author of your own novel
You ’re in a rose garden
by a road block with the polar opposite of no options
No longer in a coma
No toxin makes you sober
Hold off on getting older
Focus all of it on motion
Go off is what they told you,
exploding spark, making no harm
Don’t stop at the road crossing, just go farther than your soles can
It’s a gold market, not a low cost ghost mall
It’s a role model, not a cold hearted oligarch
It’s a slow waltz, not a robotic lonely march
It’s an open park, not code-locked holy law
Go, wander off, don’t call it off, don’t stop it.

Thousand horns
06:42
|
|||
|
I arrive
to the coastline
I’ve walked backwards
through photos
The old
behold
the multiplying ocean
It grows away
The boats,
in motion from the breathing
of the passing
A bridge dissolving
by the end
See, far off,
far beyond the sky’s horizon,
I’ll walk,
I’ll pass and never come back
A thousand horns,
sounding for me,
or taking from me
Here, now
Stay loud
Black sun coming,
my voice, falling
Tears run lifelessly
My wings, shaking
Giant waves, sky high,
close the path behind,
embrace me
They hold me
They take me

Diamond morning
05:19
|
|||
|
Chasing embers in the haze
Way too blind to see the stars
How hard can it be to give?
To give in to what’s to come?
Give in to time
Crashing straight into the wave
We don’t know if we are warm
Are we ready to give up?
Give up everything for you?
And now, the time to know has run out
The fears we have within,
a world without the one you know you’ll love
There’s one thing I know for sure
If you do descend, I’ll know,
that I’ll give you all I have,
that I will be one with you
and follow time

Diamond art
01:21
|
|||
|
A world trying to grow diamonds,
no one’s coal mining
I’ll take a nosedive no co-pilot,
no guide. This whole time I’ve been close minded,
no ties, no rope to throw over to the Holy Ghost side
I don’t know why,
if only I could open those blind folded comatose eyes
blown to life by a golden rose growing high
As if you’re newborn,
seeing the world moving forth,
behind a thin cloth, knowing you could do more,
feeling ripped off,
peeling your skin off,
revealing your wings, start healing your big scars, seeing who’s in charge
Be helium, lift off, greet Helios, get lost,
delirium, Greek gods, a million deep thoughts all at once
Water guns against the falling sun
leaving it all undone
I come down as an artisan
wondering where all the art is from

Diamond train
07:57
|
|||
|
The blinders are down,
your room fills up
The sudden halt reminds you
This diamond train is still carrying you forward,
the rails, still guiding it,
and neither do those who you meet here know
when to alight
To the timeless
outside
Seen and feared
and coveted
Come down, hear them
breezing, soothing
Tower, harden,
erode, spread out
Look out, see them
living, caring,
Boundless calmness,
brimming vapor,
orange tundra,
waving serenely
It’s all there outside, inside, passing by
It’s passing by
You found in their night sky
your same world
