How strange
From mountain tops to tropics in a single flight
Stepping off the ledge, or resting on the edge
From poverty to philanthropic
Just a step
A leap into the waters white
Surfing to the shore, diving down for more
A lack of subsequence, the inner stillness totters
Only balance
In stranger landscapes seem the fields once my dream
Waking in the wee hours, cupping meadow showers
Thinking all is wrong, where traveled could belong
Keeping quiet
Lost somehow in cloudy days, bathing in eternal rays
Thoughts like voices dance, stepping up to take my chance
Change comes full and absent
I miss you
