Change

Change is never easy

It is always confronting

Just ask the tree

That loses its leaves

If it misses summer

On its way to

Winter and I think

That you will hear

It sigh saying don’t

Miss things on your

Way to other things

FreshAir (for Khalil)

You know when you

Open that first window

On a spring day

And the breeze blows

In and your home

Is suddenly filled with

Freshness and crisp chill

And you stand there

Sighing smelling and shivering

Closing your cardigan and

Wrapping your arms across

Your chest yeah yeah

You’re like that just

Like that to me

IfNotWhyThenWhat

Just tell me why

Don’t hide behind ignorance

Please don’t hide behind

Veiled innocence when you

Know why you did

And please don’t apologize

Please don’t ask forgiveness

Because what you did

Was not a mistake

You chose your answer

To your own question

If you won’t say

Why at least say

What what your question

Was that you answered

That will give me

The why you did

LessEqualsMore

There’s this in between

A point of equilibrium

A place of comfort

When what is lacking

And what is grand

Are neither less than

Or greater than the

Other meaning that what

Attracts you and what

Detracts you is balanced

By who they are

This equity you uncover

Is when you discover

That you’re in love

ConversationWithGod

Back to my knees

Lord where art thou

Here in my darkness

I implored the Heavens

To relieve me from

Despair have my sins

Prompted such turmoil have

I not been noticed

For my kindness nor

My love for others

Where are You

And then God said

I am the bottom

Upon which you have

Fallen which you kneel

Consider this do not

Sprouts spring from below

Do not trees rise

From the forest floor

Do not clouds gather

Rain from the oceans

Does not absolutely everything

Begin from where you

Find yourself to be

Now my dear boy

Start from here and

Be on your way

Just like everything else
