Every hardship becomes more humorous with it’s every re telling.
Every joy becomes a longing for one such moment more.
Every heart break remains a heart ache, forever bitter sweet.
Surrender
If you will lay down your shield
and submit to me your sword
I will arm you and shield you from harm
Searching
The hardest thing to ever find
Is always under foot.
Every Single Thing
All the things
that we can think of
and the thousand more
that we cannot
are each but a single thing
The best that we can ever do
is bruise or bless
the space around us.
Darkness
Darkness is not the time to close your eyes
Darkness is time to open wide
Darkness is where you see unseen
The Travelers Conversation
She asked him, “Where you headed”
He said, “Same as you”
We’re all going to our graves my dear
I’m taking the long way there
Me, I came up the hard road, she said
got here quick as I could
Then asked him if he would mind it much
if she kindly tagged along
Well my way is a tangle, he said
and I stop a lot to tend to knots
but it’s not my road to tell
Till then, he said, and tipped his hat
and bid her, fair thee well
Without the Map
Without the map
you can’t say for sure
That you are not already
standing on the treasure
For Those Who Have Nothing
When you can see the horizon
it’s easy to expand
But when you’re buried past your eyeballs
You just can’t understand
For those who have nothing
there’s still something you can do
To start down a new path
learn something new
What’s Important
It is not
That the earth shook
and a mountain shattered
It is not
The blooming bud
or immanent sorrows
It is
That someone
saw it happen
