I Am

The light, the dark The black, the white Everything and nothing All that’s in between I choose today I choose tomorrow I let the colors swirl Perfect balance Walk the line Miss the mark Go again Await the day Seize tomorrow Feel the beauty Feel the tears See the colors Touch the moments Smell the roses Hear my life

Abyss

The raw truth of life that defining moment A simple time with seconds to spare Those seconds last for less than we hoped It is out of our hand at that moment The recollection of life is a gamble It is a roll of the dice Our life and those seconds unclear The belief that we never ramble Awaiting that second that we fall The disappearance into the light The emergence from the dark...

Scent

Lost control of everything The second hand It’s struck in rewind It’s struck in forward The start within the end Its sweet eternity Its semblance of order The implant of beauty Isometric everything Tentative anything Ripple effect Stanza superlative

Mixed

Single letters Simple words Complex thoughts Compound contradiction Dirt roads Stony sidewalks Concrete highways Compound direction Tiny seed Wayward branch Stalwart trunk Compound life Single drop Light shower Raging torrent Compound existence

Balance

Every single line and every single key They require one another in every way The swing of the sword The release of the arrow The wind to the seed The rain to the sea The Earth and the Sun The stars and eternity The flame to renewal The whole to the one Everything to nothing Nothing to everything
