Life, puppy's nose
excitement moisten
take in the sound
cavalier bagpipes
drifting
over mountain
over river
simple things drift on the mayweather breeze
oh, the time to see them
to catch them
hold them close
embrace
walls fall away
broken
smashed
breathing in butterflies
destroys the telescopes.

#2 was last post.

Marching marching
to nowhere
my torch cannot pierce the darkness
put out by those with hoses
what blind water
soon i am putting out fires myself.

marching marching
through the maze
which path to take?
which wall to scale?
which wall to bang my head against
repeatedly, yielding a hole of light
precious fresh air...
or just a headache?

emotions lie to me
thoughts are blind
instincts are flawed
where am i to turn but You?
sometimes you seem so far, I try to do it on my own.
i can. i must. let you.

running in circles
attacking the wall with a
karate chop-chop.
what am i expecting?
sure not my hand to defeat the wall?
yet i must still try right?

Fog
closing in
where am I going.

do not be afraid.
