PayingUp

Sometimes you just don’t

Can’t won’t or will

Sometimes the desire is

Gone keeping you still

And quiet faraway from

Writing like a pill

Whether swallowed or penned

Simply paying the bill

For things already written

24

Sleep I do

Sleep I must

Dreams they woo

Dreams they dust

Wake I too

Wake I trust

Day we shoo

Day we bust

Night it soothes

Night it shush’s

Triumphs

Never minimize your accomplishments

For to one what

Might seem like a

Pebble and to another

A stone yet another

A rock to many

A boulder and to

Most the mountain don’t

Forget that whatever lays

In the path has less

To do with their

Size and much more

To do with how

We perceive them to

Stone

I hear that song

And think of you

Wherever that you are

Whomever you are with

The memories skeeter past

Like stones that skip

Across a languid lake

And disappear far yonder

Near the other bank

The far other side

Which I cannot reach

Until I myself become

A stone which dunks

Disconnection

There is this distinction 

Of which I’m exploring

I’ll call it disconnection

We live in a

World of greed and

Selfishness of scarcity and

Desire yet one who

Wishes to promote selflessness

Often finds himself exhausted

Out there giving and

Offering and causing and

Trying to quench and

Feed people uncertain as

To what they want

Because they want everything

When the selfless person

Disconnects he himself doesn’t

Become selfish but rather

Available to those seeking

What he can offer

It promotes a sense

Of abundance for those

People looking for it
