The Thief

Anxiety came for me
It stole my potential
It ran in the night with my dream
I saw it run from the scene

It will be back, I’m sure
Like a thief in the night
It steals my soul
Until I slay it with the same

I Am

I am becoming who I am
It’s about time

Life opened a path
I walked down it
And many many years later I arrived

I looked back and I saw myself

The circle is complete

The Middle Way

As the world turns, I still myself in the middle
I see it spin, I see it begin
I see it end
I see it rend

I see peculiar patterns
While chaos awaits
As I zoom away
As to say

The Middle Way
Is the way
The only way
To live the day

Wander

My mind wanders
Like water on a muddy hill

My thoughts take flight
Like a horse after a gunshot

What the hell was that?
My mind races

It jumps
It weaves
It bobs
I can’t stop it

Dew

I’m a perfect dewdrop
I rest on the leaf of life
I hear a trickle of rain
It’s happening now, with breathtaking persistence

I’m still as an ancient cave
I hear the echos of time at the moment
I hear the beat of my heart
I measure my breath as I stare

Fire crackles
I see sparks like stars
I see them spiral up like Gods
The universe nods
It knows, and so do I
