trying to breath through water

when i look too hard it goes away 
and when it all goes quiet i see they're right here 
i see that i am a little piece of a big big universe 
and that makes it right 
when it all goes quiet behind my eyes i see everything that made me 
flying around in invisible pieces
you've got to learn to take care of people smaller and sweeter than you are 
daddy said brave men don't run from their home 
the entire universe depends on everything fitting together just right 
and if you can fix the broken piece everything can go right back

better to burn out

new moon and new beginnings 
black box meditation 
passion as motivation 
a cross of ashes on my forehead

seeming not to have a care



it feels like winter , and that cold air induces a certain feeling in me
to the brain, i dislike cold, 
the low temperature hurts my skin, 
the coughing hurts my stomach, 
a trekk in the snow seems like a somewhat daunting journey, 
one that, taken during summer and spring, was just so free and light 
is now bundled , layered , heavy 
trudging where i once was traipsing 

but maybe all thats in the brain shall stay up there sometimes in japa silence 
and the heart shall hold a monarchy in the body 
this isn't a two party system all the time 

the heart remembers a feeling.... 
brings on the sound of wind gusts and creeking old window pains 
whistling sighs from shaky iron heaters and the nightly sound of snow trucks keeping roads clear
a craving for velvet and beaded lamps drenched in incense smoke flows through my core
looking out a window to snow covered street lamps 
toasty on the inside , deep feelings coming to the surface like a red rose in bloom
warm sanctuaries with rich colors and tapestries draped on the walls 
an energy that almost whispers all it's secrets right into your realm of knowledge 
hash to make you feel fine as wine

and by my side there you were
it's hard to tell if i miss you or that feeling
