With my eyes closed
I have held down
Each complaint I have had
So that my soul sings
A tune I know better
And as that tune bellows
I shall move my heart forward
So that I become
A better man.

Plans, Man (day 1712)
Yesterday I was a man
Today I have no sin
A better man,
A bigger name,
Confessed and over spent.
Am I awake?
I’ve pinched myself
I see with my two eyes.
Yet here I sit
Under used
And selling ideas
For a much bigger plan.
Crickets (day 282)
Did the cool wind die
That old summers night
As the crickets croaked
And the bugs bit
We sang for a while
Like we were living in a space
Where we didn’t care
For the silence around
In truth, it made it hurt more
It made the sadness gather storm
It made the songs all have meanings
It made the end loom in the twilight hours
But it was all for the better
I realize that now
I have accepted that fact
Like so many others since
Your Will (day 140)
A wine with time
Grows better in age
A friendship in bloom
Fostered worries exhumed
And little by little
The trap doors fall apart
The secrets to my heart
Unravel at your will
