Bare Truth

The warning signs are peeling from the skins on which they lay

The dangers have past and now we're left to wonder why

"Why did I believe?"

"Why did I fear?"

"Why does it matter?"

The answers do not and the bare skin of freedom remains

To live

To breathe

To feel

To Love

To bare TRUTH

Boardwalk Life

We walk the crowded boardwalk and manage not to touch one another yet we are all connected

The beautiful and ugly disappear in laughter

The lights and smells and tastes are silly

Screams in chorus and smiles shared with adrenaline rush along with the painful wait in line

Anxiety is seated as the lap bar comes down secure to hold us captive along a ride parallel to life

We all get on and all get off

The young in us wish to ride it again and for the old in us once is enough

Man In The Sand

The body and its memory stayed buried in the sand

The thought landed upon my heart and stood tall in the doorway

I felt lonely and unforgiven, I could not remember what I'd done

How does a dream of murder wash the mind?

Reality swept through another time

A question of mine

And I don't know the answer

Or the man in the sand

All the flesh becomes part and parted from the evidence

A guilt, a something we are not

A bag of emptiness capable of thought

The end of the story... floppy and lifeless and waiting to rot
 


I'm bobbing my head now...

Holding Hands With Time

The line between light and dark is thin

And the transition from dusk and dawn is in

There are twilight hours of purple hue

And red skies prettier than blue

The nether hours of waking mind

Are dream swept places of a never find

Old as calcium, bony and bare

A world of color with no light to spare

I will walk this space of shaded line

And dream of holding hands with time

Misunderstood Youth

I was familiar to the new

Told I had never seen before yet knowing I had

Confused, I did not trust those older than I

So I continued to play with novelty

I will make it my own and the elders will continue to misunderstand

It's a passage to a new age which I will be a part of

Those young minds will thrive, not misled by fear of the old ways

While the teachers of history remind us of the truth of change
