April spills her rain
Mother Earth drinks it all in
turning a bit green
But it suits her to a tee
as she shows off in the spring

How long is too long
to wait when one is sleeping
Though the choice be yours
to wake to the truth or not
I would love to see your eyes
You choose to stand there
in between the hands of love
and I don’t know why
it only makes yours filthy
with the blood you’ve spilled on them
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
everyone can fall
when tripping over life’s bumps
but if we’re not dead
bouncing up is more fun than
slipping into a dark hole
We’re all just people
humans, who are sure to err
that is no mistake
¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬
If family ties
choke you up so you can’t breathe
just loosen the knot

Have you lost your way ?
there is a path to find it
your heart will lead you
carrying you with its love
perfect journey companion

Ocean, my huge friend
smells of salt as he drifts near
off guard, I am caught
when he rolls over my feet
pulling me into his lap
≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈ ≈
Cold spray hits my face
though he’s large, he’s such a tease
I try to escape
but land in his bubbly wash
he waves and I laugh
Stop yanking at it
Let it stay where it is
It doesn’t come out
It was meant to stay inside
But it’s okay to touch it
