day ends with light  that permeates the sky as if echoing through  the calmed storm clouds there is a rooftop  that shimmers  with the golden pink glow of the setting sun and a palm tree standing  as its fronds flutter in the gentle breeze farther off we hear people shouting speaking forcefully  with bold lettered…

making magic 

standing underneath a streetlight dim artificial glow rain falls around like glitter and when the light hits right you are floating within stardust darkness  like a warm blanket  hugs the sidewalk barely seen tree outlines lean in close and whisper good ideas to enact later i write them down i go (to myself) oh that…

a little bird

ground i stand on while the light keeps shifting warm sun seems like an anomaly  and clouds’ shadows drift in the breeze creating a space that reflects patches of light and at the edges of park  in between the brush a sparrow finds a place high up above the city walkways speeding cars and the…

visualizing purple clouds

seeing the infinite landscape stretched out before me cloud lines along the distant mountains  just a scribble on the paper in purple bleeding ink soaks into the page and down into where the mountain meets the water can you see it in double vision? as something from within your imagination, a picture within the mind…

unbroken

the hands reach out to hold on put the pieces back together hold it together the hands surround  support each one giving warmth each one giving strength the hands soothe the hands calm the hands centered around the body place hands and hold  they do so until there is no more they bind together  bring…

this sounds so familiar 

bells ring across the land the chord structure sounds familiar  and sad and i’m trying to remember  go back in my memory playing the notes backwards the beat is inside out and someone sings in spanish, which makes me cry i’m breathing at a pace that seems reasonable  but i don’t know if the fog…

play this song for strength of vision

bounce this song will hypnotize this is the song you tell your problems to it is a patient listener but don’t surprised if it moves around while you talk it has things to do as you are in the same room as this song you notice your heartbeat begins to slow until the guitar enters…
