Open Highway

11/21/2013

0 Comments

 
​Open Highway
On the outside of the fringe
Feeling extra
And unhinged
I am on the ledge again
And beginning to like it here.

The air is cooler on the outside
The silence
So soothing
Like driving at night
On an open highway
That stretches forever
Never
Looking back.
And I need the space
On days like today
If I had the ability
I would probably
Even push my own self away.

A Different Air Here

11/13/2013

0 Comments

 
​You’re frightened a bit
Aren’t you
As if you let yourself go
Any deeper into this
There may be no escape
I know
I can be pretty intense
And right now you’re looking into the pool
Of other worlds
And possibilities
And wondering if
You can wade in a bit
But keep your head
Safely above the waters
I’m sorry you cannot
There is a different air here
That we breathe
In this mystical place
When we leave
The world of known
The world of simple
Stable
Clear
Understanding
And you’re frightened
Are you not?
You like your control
And in this place
Beneath the sea of other worlds
With me
Well you cannot plan a thing.
Nor can you choose what
You leave behind
Or what you bring
For when we come here
We leave behind
Everything
Except ourselves.
And can you trust me
Am I real
Or am I
Imaginary?
After all this is just glimpse isn’t it
There is more
Beyond ~
When you reach your hand in
When you reach for me
Your hand disappears
And you cannot see
What is within
But you can touch my hand
You can feel my skin
And for a minute you might try
And pull me back
To the world of “facts”
Where you live
But I will never return to that place again
I’m sorry
I like my world
I will not leave it
For yours
So you can go your way
Or you can dive deep in
And discover if you can still breathe
In this place where I live.

It All Comes From and Back to Love

11/5/2013

 
It all comes from and back to love
it always does
it always did
the reason we want
the reason we work
the reason we live
It all comes from and back to love
the reason we smile
the reason we fear
the reason we stay
and attempt to draw near
to what we want
what we need
it is always love
The reason we wake
press through tough days
do what me must
and make what we make
it is always love
there is nothing else
that exists
but this
just love
It is all there is.
