Climb

Our world elusive
we climb to find out
what we already know

Sinking

Our grasp of the world
sinks with our lack of understanding
leaving us holding nothing

Ours Alone

Once we've found our way
it's ours alone to travel
each step of the way

Motion and Stillness

Motion begets Motion
destinations come and go
until we embrace stillness
finding home at last

Disconnected

We live in the shadow of nature
disconnected from the true world

No Way Out

There is no way out
not for those who look
distractions see to that

Runtime Error

She expected an infinite loop
possibilities beyond dreams
what she got was a funeral instead

We invented gods
to give us some meaning
while we waited
to complete our routines

Shadows of the Past

The days take us away
bits and bytes at a time
until we're just shadows of the past

Malfunctioning

Our simulation is malfunctioning
with each glimpse we change
the outcome of our existence

Tumble and Crash

The walls of each era
slowly tumble and crash
as our routines are updated
and our destiny plays out

Sunday, December 8, 2019

Return to Zero

Our destiny determined
before we were born
we loop through the days
until we return to 0

Keep Away

At war with ourselves
we circle the wagons
to keep each other away

Trinkets

Dreams packaged and sold
windows filled with trinkets
for which we sell our souls

Wouldn't Last

After the war, we celebrated
a peace we knew wouldn't last

Wandering Soul

Terri loved the beach
it was her sanctuary
a place to connect without words
where the soul could wander freely
and return with each crashing wave

Far Off

They dreamed of long-off tomorrows
each happy day unfolding
a far off world that awaits
those who don't live today
