OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me
So I thank you for the good you have done
I say it in silence
That way you will not sense the silent good bye
It hurts me that our business in your face is done
But I will remember we were brothers
I will pray for you
For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds
I will not forget that you helped me
And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you
But tonight I will pack what I can
And leave your house brother
Not groaning
For all of us are guests in each others lives
In my case
I must have overstayed my visit
I hope love never grows old
I will find peace when it thrives again
But now
It is obviously used.

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
