Bean’s

And away he is 
home or somewhere else
as precious as home
where he was raised
and where memories remain
He is of land
of earth and tree
of animal and sun
All gods to him
to which he prays
and takes and uses
thanks and is grateful
his world’s not mine
mine is of words
his is of work

Hope

Hope is the only 
thing that I can’t
live without any hope
about any thing carries
me higher and farther
than even their promises
for promises to most
are meant to be
whereas hope is here
now and not later
when they are already
gone

Start

The early morning starts
with windows of far
off downtown buildings drowsily
blinking like your eyes
do upon rolling over
seeing me smiling at
you as you inch
closer to me reaching
for my coffee cup
ignoring me completely as
I quickly snap shut
my arms around you
like vines of Ivy
trapping you in dawns
very early love embrace

BeingAnything

Being anything with yourself 
is harder than being
anything with anyone else
Let’s start with forgiveness
forgiving others is easy
we all do it
all of the time
But when was the
last time that you
forgave yourself or let’s
try selfishness we all
have been selfish with
others but when was
the last time you
allowed yourself to be
selfish with you being
almost anything with yourself
is in fact the
cornerstone of your happiness
No not your happiness
with others but only
your happiness with yourself

Want

Learn to disavow need
and begin to practice
want needing anything needing
anyone is slavery not
freedom freedom expresses itself
by choice not need
Step away from needs
make do do without
with out isn’t scarcity
scarcity is a by-product
of need abundance is
the expression of want
