Learning how to stand

Searching through the forest of my mind -
there's something I've lost, but don't want to find.
I wanna kneel amongst the trees, witness heaven on my knees -
and say something hot to this cool breeze.
Lose my footprints in the river trying to walk across the water;
change direction like a bird;
suck sun like a flower;
walk without a shadow and crawl away praying for a new day;
fall asleep beneath a rainbow, and wake up next to a pot of gold -
just give me another life to hold,
but this story's been sold.
Put down the brush and guide your colours with both hands,
you might fall amongst the rubble,
but you're learning how to stand.

This Blog's 4

This blog's 4,
another year like the one before.

Many pass by without leaving a trace,
hard to find your footprints in this internet space.

Through travel,
through pain,
some sun,
some rain,
it's all here,
and it's not left-over.
No used tires,
or cliche clover.

In the eyes of the normal man,
his property is kingdom and he is king.

So here's my
something, nothing, everything.

a 2010

A new birth in 2010;
the annual chance to begin again.

Slopping through snow, and ice and regrets...
take another opportunity to place your bets.

Some celebrate this day like the ones before,
some stay buried beneath the old war.

Between beginning and end we find ourselves today,
hoping for change that doesn't seem far away.
