Sometimes I step into a place
So expansive
It fills me up
So expansive
It fills me up
I see my own boundaries
Are merely frontiers
To be explored

On water, two different kinds
Water falls to Earth
Carves the land
And furrows mighty canyons
Carves the land
And furrows mighty canyons
Water comes from Earth
Builds the land
Deposits micro canyons
Some doors…
Some doors invite
Some doors challenge
Some doors bar
Some doors beg
Some doors challenge
Some doors bar
Some doors beg
Sometimes
It’s difficult to tell
Which is which
Until I try to open them
The Gas Bar
We always stopped
At the same gas bar
On the long drive up
To Grandma’s house
At the same gas bar
On the long drive up
To Grandma’s house
Ice cream, or a popsicle
An orange soda and a danish
While Gary tanked up the car
And made the windshield gleam
I drive through history
I drive through history
Illuminating the present
Drawing a map
Into the future
Illuminating the present
Drawing a map
Into the future
I remind myself
Do not linger in the past
I need to know where I am
And look where I am going
The colours of life
I love
The colours
Of life
The colours
Of life
The vivid ones
Of course
Neons and electrics
Brash and confrontational
The crazy-ass kind
I never knew existed
Never thought could exist
Resonant truth
“But, how do you know?” she asked.
I paused. Reflected. Then, “have you ever known something to be true, absolutely true, even though there was no way you could know it to be true, because there was no reason to think it was true? Something you can’t explain to anyone else, even explain to yourself?”
Darkness gives it shape
Light illuminates the world for me
But darkness gives it shape
While shadow gives it depth
But darkness gives it shape
While shadow gives it depth
The way lit up for me
Sometimes the path I must follow seems
All lit up
Just for me
So that even in the darkness
I can follow The Way
Winter crept up the mountains
Winter crept up
The mountains
While summer
Slipped in
Below
The mountains
While summer
Slipped in
Below
