The eruption was sudden Light cast skyward. That melted into mist, That flowed into the air around us.

We sat playing

While the Earth surged around us. Earthquakes in harmony to the sound. That blew from flutes That came from our drums That escaped from trembling metal wire

We took, the magic that was locked away. In each of us, Those lost notes that were hidden. Shimmered back free.

Some told us it was prophecy.

But for us it was just another day That for us, playing music together. Was like a snake shedding skin Another newer version hiding just within

Escape is a cliffhanger.

The unknown is it's own ecstasy. Feeling your first few steps past the front door. The way, of being carefree.

Live. Dance. Learn anything.

It's all that life's promise has given to me.

ash settling after a bonfire blaze, wind lazily passing over, catching dancing with the remains peace from chaos music into the silence glutton waves lap hungrily at tossed sand. brings finality to a gathering of friends.

that's how parties end

leaves falling oddly, passing through grated fence prisons twisting as the wind pushes them downward currents pushing them back up the spiraling dance of Autumn beckoning winters court

walking in wind is getting to attend the masked ball of season so you might as well dance

The shadow spoke to the congregation

“It's all illusion that world around us is meaningless”

“It's in meaning that we mix

“We control the destiny of things. “More than this temporary symphony

“I'm important

“I'm alive

“What's more is that this isn't about me

“It's about all of you

the shadow called out to all his fellows.

The onlookers smoky columns, flickering. Vaudevillian eyes pulsing in agreement Partially here, partially not

“We, are alive “Those 'people'” his voice dripping with venom “Are the 'them', the living...

“They don't even know HOW to live

to know, more about your lies...

life is living, in the deep end.

not shallow, meaningless ends.

my heart is faded.

my mind is a poor vessel it has always been

I would give it all

#poetry

Do you remember the endless...

I do

laughter, so sweet it hangs like wind chimes through summer air warmth radiating from sidewalks carrying bicycles and children and memories

I remember those endless days of summer

#poetry

These valleys That we tread both far and wide These lost moments between steps and breathe How we lose so much time How the trees become superficial When walking by Fading, one into the next

Memories are like that after seeing so much of the same they blend together and some fade until I don't remember them at all

How much have I forgot

#poetry

the dog, the cat, the fox and bear walked in circles through the lair if one paused, the other nipped until one fell and was killed

the dog, the cat and bear though each was tired one was fed so when one more tripped and hit it's head the other one ate it up the dog and bear

smiling eyes blood red teeth

only ends when those two meet

#poetry

Rise my seedling From gentle bed of soil Life is waiting

The garden isn't safe Little seedling

Others may tell you lies That those giants Are your friends But im here to tell you different

We are special, little bulb We aren't vegetable Such petty plucking

Rise, seedling Come see the world we rule

Rise and feed
