Turning Heads

Ignore it... what bliss
Turn your head; find happiness.
But you are kindhearted
With a crown of intellect
Why do you turn away?
There is pain at the sight,
A most agonizing form
If the eyes were to stay.

To sit and dwell
Is to compose your own Hell.
Be dumb and be free;
Blind, busy... happy.
Let this jungle consume you
Let it breathe in your smell.
You are part of the cycle
The wane... the swell.

But who are you,
To submit to the great circus?
You, A mere speck, on a dot
Among an orbit continuum,
Life here sustained
By the fearsome burning sun.

Your head of youth, once filled
With intent to be the jungle king.
Those lofty dreams now waste away,
For your tamer is the ring.
All living will decay
You, the feeble lion king
Lie down
Obey

How rambling the wild river, How confined, is that roaring river. How calm the silence, How mad, that deafening silence! How freeing is the drug? How shackling, that very drug. How clear, how luminous their eyes. How dim, how clouded your eyes. I tilt my face to the sky, Not in strife-- But to laugh with a sigh. This thing is a bit funny For, as we perceive it, Is not solely in the eye to see. How honey-sweet the success, How bitter that insurmountable success. How crippling the defeat. How rousing, that sting of defeat. How fair the beautiful people How amazingly ugly, those beautiful people. How vast our knowledge, How miniscule is our human knowledge? I lift my face to the sky, Not wanting an answer, But I still ask why? They cry tears of joy But I can't be bought. They feel the sorrows of a moment, Never again to happen, left in the past, forgot. How strong the pow...

Bed head

  In a flower bed day dream   The sun swallows up my head Seeds fall down the length of my fingers and into the soil Sowing Love’s intentions Velvet clover tickles a rabbit’s foot Bringing gratitude.
