Hearing voice gesture a superb dialogue
Less pretentious, enlarging personifications
It is the lesser day so smoothly natural, examining life
Stuffed with unparalleled expression
To keep in mind, like my CD player
Where description carries feelings
Over and over again...ahhhh, listening to Josh Groben!
Oh that I learn to define, on the face of freshmen
What self-exploration soaked in time? How amazing
How brilliant and loving from the greatest source
Metaphor derives from experience
Crying for the loss of it, between the meanings…then
Swallowing everything that Socrates analyzed
Smelling mortal position and youth changing
Repetition at the end of impromptu
Giving friendly unity interweaving inspiration
To remember both sides of my hand
Are what we think with, oh the free-fire zone
Borrowed clothing told me much better
Where stories became truer with less detail
Spinning through the air
Doors open wearing white maxi-coats
Prolific beauty argues the wildest possible extensions
Dramatic literature and internal surprise
Reflections move at the speed of light
Matter determines our manners
Or it should~
White sounds bobbing, scarcely more than a heavy-twilled rippling
Waiting for two thirds of our thoughts
Viewing God’s eternal acceptance, reading love
Mainstreamed throughout long beards of men
Forging accounts for arguments
Road repair programs are accelerated
We confide to our diaries
Where continual autobiography lives
And confronts that mass of experiences
Whispering
Behold! Where the spirit floats we live!
And we tell old friends what we did
Crushed and reprocessed
The potential belongs to you
The challenges of new
A most exciting familiarity, consistently enlarging spheres
Family quarrels are bitter things
Heaven is chasing me
With creative courage
Being part of the tone of honesty
Of openness inserting harmonic all-inclusive couplets
If we just forget to enjoy our fears
