Don't give words too much weight Even the heavy ones will soon dissolve If not on paper, then in your mind
Some burdens have to be carried When they can be dropped Enjoy the lightness of being while it lasts--knowing it will return
I walked along and saw a stranger smile at me The breeze touched my face without my asking I yearned for company and found trees all around me I begged for a partner and found her in the tears of past-present-future
The inner narrative does not stop-- it only changes like the mood of a friend that won't leave What else can I shout for that will bring me satisfaction? I've grown tired of waiting and wandering I will give up the search and find solace in the Now
If I was an attorney, I would mount a scathing argument For the gratitude of eternal being And the jury would applaud my mistake For even bothering to prove the point
If my memory cache ever goes bankrupt, And my future vision grows dim, May the light of a tiny ocean illuminate the landscape To remind me of the smallness of this world
The humility of God's vastness rescued my feeble mind Despite the temporal pressure to race and achieve I let it all fall by the wayside and found abundant miracles Everywhere I turned.
