Reflected

In stillness,

the world will

reflect

its true self

there we'll

find ourselves

Chains

We create the chains

we find ourselves bound in

giving away our freedom

Getting Old

We're instruments of time

getting old in passing

there's no other way

Strive Not

Still waters strive not

nor should we

that is something

to reflect upon

As was meant

Embrace your true nature

in just being....

as we're meant to

Yield

All yields in time

Let Go

Eluding us, time

there to embrace

in the moment

we let go

Ripples

Time ripples

with our passing

shaped by deed

changing

complex to simple

Our Purpose

We serve our purpose

then we rust away

our task complete

Wash Away

In time, all we know

will wash away

Unique

We are unique

yet the same

in our passing

some will remember us

for a time

Another Fall

The garden awaits us

to take another fall

Tranquil Seas

Tranquil seas make for uninteresting journeys 

Amusement

We fill our world with broken hearts

just for amusement

New Beginning

Every journey's end

is a new beginning 

State of the world

We've only ourselves to blame

for the state of the world....

Waiting

We met once,

while waiting

for something else....

Blink

We here but a moment

created impermanence

blink and we are gone

Each Day

each day

stands on its own

none the same

none repeated

no past

no future

just now

Reflected time

Time reflects its era perfectly

Color Becomes

Color becomes what it's intended to be

Waiting Inside

Our beauty is waiting inside

to be exposed to the world

Radiates

The wildflower

radiates what's within

something for us to learn

therein is its beauty

Complete

One in being

the shore is complete

in the moment

Passion Kills

Passion kills

when we possess

rather than let be

no love

is reflected there

Direction

A path awaits

those who know

they need direction

Hindsight

You've changed so much

your face in mine

in a decade doubled

I know not your reflection

nor you mine

we've outguessed each other

time won't stop

or tell us whose wrong

so we go on rolling into today

waiting for hindsight

to tell us

we've been long astray

Had Today

stopped thinking about yesterday

stopped living for tomorrow

had a go at a moment

made a move

had today

Something Better

Every one of them, the whole bunch

the whole bushel was rotten

so I searched for something

different or better

the search became a battle

everything was bland

everything all around

air spat brown and I gagged

waters turned frigid

roads grew bends

animals ran in hostility

trees threw their leaves at me

day kept trying to stick

me with night

friends ebbed away like the sea

was there nothing left to make

me happy

where from came

the sorrow, came the pain

I opened my heart

and poured out black

and slowly those things I'd lost

all came back...

Changed

We changed so much

in a decade doubled down

your reflection another face

radiating another time

there's scarcely a trace

of me in this heart of mine

nothing left untouched

under regret's crown

We find our place

Love leads the way

heavy becomes light

wellness fills us

we find our place

all as one

Mastering Tech

Master your technology

before it masters you
