under the blazing sun,
you slipped
falling into sticky places.
get up now
rise on up
and reach for higher places
with clearer mind.
wake up now
8.23.2023
come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
there is a lullaby about a baby
sleeping by the ocean
as the mother works by the ocean.
it’s a rather peaceful song
a song that makes you long
but longer you listen to it
further you sink
into sand dunes of the past
ephemeral, its shape
yet so heavy, its weight.
I hope you stay awake
before it’s too late
for there are real ones who wait
for you to rise again with your faith
faith in reaching your goal,
faith in being whole.
so, it’s time to rise
it’s a good day to be alive.
who would’ve known you’d be glad
to go through excruciating ordeal
hustling in filth and blood
who would’ve known you’d be happy
to see Truth with bare eyes glistening
with tears of pain and joy
