Its evermore crystal clear
The purity of this site
Fruit that shakes

A man alone
In the sky, the ground below
Vegatation and fountains

Like a garden with stone pathways
And walls covered by vines, but not entirely
And just part of a labyrinth...
Birds and doves and a giant tree
A giant tree visible for miles
Huge

A foggy skyline at the base of a mountain
All in one piece
Where have my dreams of suicide gone?
This new empty in my schedule

Pulling my hair
Yanking my teeth with string
My eyeballs bulging and red lines
An explosion and an exasperated exhale

Open my window
Let me in here
A "poof" and it doesn't make sense
Confused and blow

Power in these words
Difficult to understand
But real and calm
Relaxing, like sleep
But could it be trust?

A limitless ceilling of blue
Not dark or light, but like that on screen,
Computer generated and a walkable surface
I drive across, black, not dull or shiny
Just black
And the air in front follows this blue
And black to a limitless distance out of sight

Then daisies with smiley faces stand up
And dance at a joint in the middle
Sway elboe side to side
Identical leaves on the same place on the stem
Three flowers: pink, gray blue, pastel yellow

The ground is now flat green like a game
And a flat sky

The sun is red orange mixture of colors
With spike rays of sun
And another smiley face,
Big and center

What am I thinking? lol.

craig, this was beautiful!!! yet, from its inception in my mind, to the very end, i came to see that the beauty was not without consequences of pain and realizations of being broken before the beauty can be appreciated.
what are you talking of? interesting question indeed. i know what (or more correctly whom) you made me think of, and it's reflected in the opening stanza of this magnificent piece of writing. god how i screwed up something beautiful...
nice to see you posting poetry this refreshing and heartfelt.

of all the things we try to find... it's only love we keep.

Its nice to see you as well. Its basically I'm going and even though I can't really see anything I have an idea and a promise. It will come to, which is a faith based statement.

Maybe you found your secret garden. With walls twenty feet high, and all those negetive thoughts have only ten foot ladders.
Like Mike said, it was beautiful. Very beautiful. I love your words.

And the legacy runs from needles to guns
And no one's immune to the pain
From Marilyn to River Phoenix
From Elvis to Kurt Cobain

My earlier reply sounds like I wrote this. Responding again is an even bigger head trip. But yeah thank you. Just let it flow....

Oh, take me away on this trip again

Another amazing write.
Hey, Michael, I got the same thing outta
The first stanza. Made me think of purity
In a unique way!

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm"

Thank you News. Truly purity is a special individual, though I was mainly refering to like a clarity thing, the connection to our friend is definitely pretty cool.
