Still Life

Still Life

I was putting thoughts down on a page and found myself alive.

Astonished at my fate, I dropped my pen to cry.

Thinking I was gone so many years ago,

Imagine my surprise when I found there was still life.

Exploding into metal and lying on the ground.

My only hope was prayer and I didn’t have the time.

Waking on the journey, a peaceful breath I took,

Then moving back to death, I fell for years to now.

So every waking thought and each amazing breath,

Were figments of my life and clouds before my eyes.

Each seasoned tear and breaking heart,

Only wishes to a child.

I lay there on the road the sirens fading in

Surrounded by the world and cradled in its peace.

That one moment, that short night,

The only real existence,

The last day of my life

Echoes

Echoes

If I exist at all is in in silence

So as not to disturb another soul

If I am, I am afraid

To be the man I am

I am changing how I look

As I remember vivid details

I am reading form a book that has no rules

Am I reading of the life once lived?

I am a blank slate,

Pages peeling back

Looking for my voice in there

Finding only echoes

I Alone

I Alone

In my life I am creator

Of all that exists

I am life itself.

Therefore

I

Am

Responsible.

I alone

Allow events to occur

I alone produce

The days of my life.

No longer can I call

On god or any other

In vain or disbelief,

To save me from myself.

Lamaze

Lamaze for life

Just breathe through the pain

Contractions come and go

Breathe again

It’s good to have a coach right there

Reminding you to breathe

It’s a simple program…

No-one Lives as I

No-one lives as I…

Inside my mind there are millions if not more…

They raise my roof with their cries…

I am welcomed as a king…

Adored from every region…

Treated with respect and love by all who live and die here…

No-one lives as I…

The universe shouts my name in every language…

I have brides on every shore…

As I voyage on, each sea caresses my face…

I lack nothing and abundance is my code…

The skies open and reveal my face…

There is no place I am afraid…

For fear is my closest friend…

No-one lives as I…

Alone, I am surrounded by love…

My heart breaks with joy each moment…

My soul rides high on the wind…

Darkness guides my vision…

And turmoil warms my skin…

I am complete and whole…

No-one lives as I.
