New Stuff

"Tranquility" 07

Sitting in the dark
All alone
Listen softly
Quiet now
Don't say a word
Peaceful now
Carefully
Each sound
Close your eyes
Focus your mind
Look deeply
Bare your soul
Calm your heart
Steady breath
Each sound I hear
Seems more real
Each movement more alive
The methods of
the ticking clock
The voices of
the happy ones
The whirring of
the air I breathe
So soft
but so intense
Yet so peaceful.


"Waiting" 06/07

Indiscretion
Wondering why
How did things get so bad?
How this world
Fell so deep
In a pit so far
How'd it happen
Where's the time
Passing by
Going quickly, too fast for most
Yet slow for imperfections
Must we sit
So idly by
And watch all of this turmoil?
Take a stand
Let it be known
It's time for revolution.
Generations come and go
Foundations break away
We can change
Show them how
Make a better way.

My favorite part is the last lines of the second one. Those are beautiful, though.
