Leaning on the great walls of buildings
Forever…something unchangeable
Strong and always in phrases of contexts…
Like mothers and fathers
Forever
Never wanting the cocoon to close
I won’t allow it...
Love is a physical phenomenon
Like colors and sounds of warmth
mentally enriching, passionate and sometimes loud

Yes, the world is a mean scary place
In some ways
But in others, it is mango flowers with great intent
And I’m always driving to school
Impaired sometimes and a little over taught
But bad skin can be tweaked
And there’s always those nights in the study halls
Mulling over great neon blues
Open house serves chocolate chip cookies
Warmed apple cider with cinnamon
Freshly baked with snicker doodles
Semantic properties of real beliefs

Subsisting false sentence….turning into true
Morals of paradoxes, gives proposition to
Particular beliefs in mistakes
Could they be not missteps at all?
Rather intentionality for the traveler?
A foundation dedicated to nothing less than
Perhaps Enlightenment, forgiveness
Forgiveness of illusions?
Dedicated monuments join
Statements of Destiny
Eventually empty hands open
Bearing forever in the Spirit of Love
Yes, indeed, the world is a scary place sometimes
But when in doubt
Catch the eye of ambition, tranquility
Blankets of peace,
There is great value in the vastness of trinkets
All the world over
And Reasons why, if all things work together
Acceptance of healing

Yes, I think tonight, I’ll walk downtown, and lean against
Those old great walls of buildings…
Accept the course of miracles, where perspective
Replacing all grievances….while listening to
Those great gatherings of the stars
Where donations are accepted
And complete forgiveness becomes a ritual
In Unbroken Unions….
A course in strength, not fear
Forever becomes a process of steps
Unlearning and learning
An application in entirety
Which has no opposites
It Just Is…Love, which is forever
Like those great old buildings down town!
Can you hear it?

you make a forest there
downtown
the tree trunks
are concrete
but soft warm to your shoulder

and the scent of their kind of pine
makes you reach for the pine cone streetlights

and dance under the mistletoe stop signs

Can you hear it?"
