sometimes I think of time,
and ponder how the stars align,
and listen to the bells chime,
on my front porch

...and hope the sound in the air,
can match the subtle strands of hair,
that gravity decided to snare,
from her lazy head.

Just gaze into the swiral of a leaf,
or think of a complex reef,
and realize that you can't teach,
what you can learn.

I found it when I think of friends,
Or when the night has no end,
except the sun shining again,


just wave hello.

Stand-Still

Its a magical moment when the sun touches the sand,
Two very distant things caress.
All the laws of possibility dissipate.
And for a second you get to see reality the way it should be.

I wish I could start walking towards that beautiful orb,
And keep it hanging just above the earth.
Watch it dancing on the sand like a dew drop on a blade of grass.
Start moving fast.

Until the sunset no longer means tomorrow.
Just brilliant illumination
the realization
that time is really borrowed.

Start running.
