Trinkets

Metropolis
of diamonds, silver,
Sparkling gold
Shiny dwellings,
flashy carriages
Nothing old
Life, love, lust,
All on sale
All being sold
Lies are fashion
Truth was never
ever told
Hold and hold
breath
till you depart

Now

Nothing
Blank, absolute silence and me
Not sure how, why, this is now
Put effort in, making it work was my goal
Achieved nearly nothing, flying into emptiness
Sense do not prevail, loneliness and I
Lost in the vastness of everything around me
Want to see, not sure what it would be

Now

Fill the earth
with hope,
happiness
flowers bloom
untouched
animals roam
with freedom
early morning,
birds tweet
Taste of silence,
unending thought
honey sweet
sadness go away
return when its time
clock chimes
the final hour
one solitary tear
soul will shed
blood red
eye lose sight, light
I will still remember today
Like yesterday
I promise

Rest without peace

Deserts, dunes,
oases opportune
dawn bearable,
too hot at noon
walk run, walk run,
repeat and repeat
keep dodging death,
every hidden defeat
boundaries pushed far,
endurance to extreme
walking on the water,
nothing is what it seems
rest is no option,
sleep standing a while
too far still to go,
body and mind’s toil
destination is known,
let courage keep calm
soul will find peace in
redemption sand storm
