Let me loose
Gimme Gumchee
The river is long
Tides are turning
Each breaker I can see up ahead
Rolls like wind
Grasps at stars
And plummets
To depths below
I can’t see.

Sandy Sheets (day 2636)
Dusty winds upon the sea;
Take a trip with me,
Beyond the breakers
Softly, swiftly,
A butterfly and free.
Wish upon a shooting star;
Sandy sheets a gift,
Like marveling
In an underground sea,
Floating forever free.
‘Float (day 2511)
I cannot demand
Nor can I command
I cannot see the stars
I cannot be a cog amongst
Those wheels turning ’round.
I cannot walk in single file
Nor can I carry on
I cannot see a way beyond
I cannot be my breakers
Keeping my head forever ‘float.
Your Histories (day 2286)
I can only hold my breath
As waves of anxiety pass through me
Butterflies emanate so powerfully
From my being
Sunshine becomes hard to see
I cannot count to ten or listen
I cannot comprehend noises
Conversation becomes lost
In an inaudible sea of thought
That has found me here
Floating around your island
Out beyond the breakers in the sea;
A picture on the wall
That leaves me awe-struck
Star struck, but not star-struck,
Star struck that makes me remember
Your kindness that laughed at me
Your eyes that watched with me
Your silence that became excited with me
And your being that is
A remarkable being
A being that should rest upon silk robes
Effortlessly moving through a sea of pillows
That supports your every wish
With decadence and consideration
And space that gives you time
To remember the histories
That you have always been,
And love that has never been forgotten
In a book written long ago
Bound with two ribbons:
One of forest green,
The other of gray.
