In The Mists

I took the exit door
And the fallaway floor
Met me with open arms
Does it ring any alarms
Or bells within you
Does it resound
And do you know the sound
Of home when the wind chimes
Whisper silver on the rhymes
That just come to you
And it’s not because I wanted to
That I write
Put pen to paper and, alright,
There is an acquiescence
But it’s not the essence
Of what I need to know
It asks me so I let it flow
Into words and ink
A digital way to think
Of who you are
And every star
Burns with the same fusion
We call it light but the delusion
Is that we know what exists
But it’s all just time and space in the mists

The Bright Lights

The lights shone from the sky

Bright and in awe and I don’t know why

As the days rolled into weeks

And the weeks into years

And I get by on just hiding my tears

And the best part of me

Doesn’t say a thing

She is just ancient 

And a bird on the wing

And if she could

Then she would sing

I loved and so 

I gave up everything

Anthropology

The anthroplogist in me
Wants to see this bird set free
Wants to see this bird fly home
To a place that is her own
But all the arching backs to see
Like cats on windowpanes to be
Even though the going’s long
I think, I know, I’m not wrong
