i gaze into this realm
& float along with you
in dreams of peach & pink & red
escape into this parallel
slip into a tranquil surrender
i peer into the cosmos
leaving this world for awhile
to a place of solace
beyond the sun
soaring above the clouds
dancing in the candle flame
swimming in the stars
leaving all afflictions behind
wishing never to return
i glance into this universe
discover a false paradise
drifting in this temporary haven
returning to reality
i carry with me a piece of this world
gaze into your soul
& discover genuine peace
eternally

Bleeding Cry

my shield is down, restraint used up
a target of this heartbreak
beholding now the unveiled truth
these swords pierce my eyes, my heart, my mind
this arduous estrangement
draped over me like broken glass
trials triumph, grief rains down
exasperation dominates
discarded by the universe
discordant with all surroundings
surrender to the sorrow
no weapons now to resist this betrayal
I realize & release it all
these lessons learned enlightening
push through the desolation
accept the loss and let it go
with armor on, I battle forth
this downpour an awakening
through these tears I see clearly
move ever forward and let it go

Shall we leave or take a stand
Forever leave our native land
Abandon this history
Forsake our ancestry
Tragic forced migration
Of our proud tribal nations
Through this torturous trail
We weep and wail
Desecrate our homes and our trust
Down this path cruel and unjust
Suffering, we resist and fall
Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, all
Thousands of miles we tread
Cheated, exploited and left for dead
Discarded, wronged and pushed away
Lamenting this death march always

Heaven

surrendering to fate, i forfeit this breath
losing my grasp of essences terrene
i fly amidst cerulean clouds with silver wings
beyond to atmospheres we deem serene
will my story inspire when i’ve departed
what shall transpire upon my grave
shall these cadences indefinitely resonate
or will my consonance be buried with all i gave
there is no winter in heaven
no sunset yielding shadow to light
no holidays kindling blessed memories
no stars nocturnally suffusing the night
we infinitely grasp for the celestial blue
our wishes and aspirations defining what is true
dreams float into the clouds like balloons
become the luster of this incandescent sphere
we leap toward the vanishing opulence
in hopes of our purpose becoming clear
seeking a flowering garden upon our tombstone
through oceans of time observing from above
though the solstice unparallel to angels’ timing
we ever long for a realm intending love
there is no summer in heaven
no moon to routinely wax & wane
no journeys, goals or celebrations
no solacing sunlight or healing rain
we passionately grasp for the ethereal blue
our daydreams and desires defining what is true
i want to find peace in heaven
no tears of regret and no remorse
this life is too short for disillusionment
no laments returning to the source
following ever this divine vocation
I sing my finest song while my feet still touch the earth
