And often when I
am stumbling through dark
and even knowing where
I cannot find what
the where is unimportant
the what less so
what is most often
is that I do
for when I stop
searching is when I
know that I fail
so I don’t worry
about where or what
but that I consistently
do to ever find

What I want
more than anything
is to be
happy with myself
when I’m alone
I’m just not
there quite yet
I want to
learn to be
that one tree
at the top
of the hill
with the swing
which sways in
the brisk winds
of winter creaking
and remembering summer
I’veDecided
I have decided
somewhere in sleep
to turn off
the noise to
hear less but
listen more and
to stop looking
for things that
aren’t really there
and to see
that which is
we conjure demons
because we can’t
be with angels

It is always easier
to connect the dots
of one’s own life
having before lived it
than it ever is
knowing where to step
if this is true
then one must trust
that wherever one steps
is the correct stone
that will lead you
there from over here
and will one day
make sense even though
today it will not
Whittled
When I moved here
I left everything behind
and only packed expectation
such a fools errand
I should have bought
the refrigerator and bed
but because being me
I marched through gates
already declaring my victory
unaware that this foe
was mightier than me
time wears everything down
before it ever builds
up and even I
have been slowly whittled
to this now sharp
stick that I am
you do indeed become
that where you are
and where I am
is better than before
for I now live
in the land humility
