come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Live for this one step.
This simple progress, one of many
Repetitive task that will go on and
On. But focus all your senses,
Now.
Pour everything into this step.
From the beginning of kinetic
To the consecrated finishing line.
Make the miracle happen.
Once done, forget about it.
Focus now all your senses to a new
Step. Pour your everything again.
This, is your dance.

I need a vacation.
Bitterness in the face of an old glory told
over and over again, renewed
promises of beginnings
I just need to go. Exploding out of this confined space, flaming
every idea with new places. But
an oath had been made under an
Oak tree, far, far long ago.
It’s the reason I must shut
open my eyes in this blizzard of
sharp truths, sameness, and thirst
in spite of
betrayals, disappointments, and accusations.
Remember me not. For I am but one of many struggling souls.
Remember me. For I will arise from this ash.

Dark grey waves are crashing,
No exit nor a lighthouse seen nearby
Floating on body of water, nothing’s
Permanent. Drifting on a planet.
But anchor is down there in abyss
Under pressure, alone in darkness
A time capsule of resolution made in past
Solemnly tugging the boat above.

There is a laughing clown dancing on a tightrope
There is a solemn knight walking on tightrope
There is a mournful beggar crying on a tightrope
There is a flaming lion roaring on a tightrope.
We are all on a tightrope.
Tightrope is endless.
We will fall from this rope some day.
Will you make a jump of faith?

Just as time floats in a siesta,
Your life may pass by
Like a bubble gum gulped
Without chewing it once.
Chew it.
Grind it, throw it around, and stretch
As far as you dare to. You’ve got
One chance.
When the juice is out
And your jaw’s hurting much
Balloon a bubble so wide
You might even have seen it
In your dreams.
And then chew it again.
