Waiting for an Easterly

,

You see I've fallen
And think that's my end
The truth is
When an easterly wind arrives
I will rise and dance again

Being stuck is not shameful
Up and down is normal
What you don't see is
I make things happen
And I also go with the flow



Life Track

, ,

I have come this far
And am still steadfast
The past is behind me
The future is not bleak

Though I carry scars
And am burdened by memories
I am glad to be still alive
And still march like an intrepid


Precious - his song

,

Like desert rain
You came
And with you
The promise
Of a new life
Returning
A long lost beat
To my dried out heart
Illuminating
And seeding
Oasis
You are.

My heart, my heart, be strong and free

, ,


Don't think I would come hard on you, ever!
Of course, I would
But like an innocent feather
You'd be passing by
And I'd register
Your light
And the shifts of colours

The End

You try to maintain an upperhand
You think you can
I watch you
Like I watch CNN

Grounded

Without heaven there is still earth
Without land there is still home
Without family there is still you
Without you there is still me


Final Analysis

,

No doubt you enjoy
The rush
The heightened sense
Of burning a candle on both ends
But is it still a joy
If it leads to another end
Is it really exhilarating
Being blown up again without wings

New Insight

One door closed
Another opened
I crossed mountains and oceans
To hear the doorbells echo

You gave me life
Only to make me an outcast
You were blind to my sorrow
Though you peeked in my journals

Now in your old age
You start to mention karma
Is that your sole insight
Reached with the sagacity of your other child

One door closed
Another open
I've travelled deep and far
To hear my heart's echoes

Dullard

,

Ah, dullard
What a wonderful word
A lovely invention
Of the English world

Single-minded people who are judgmental
Self-righteous folks who know very little
Why engage them in battles
Just give them the grand title

Yes, dullard
Such a useful word
A handy weapon
In the brave new world

Apprehension

Everything changes
Like the flowing clouds
That is what natural disaster is all about

Humans
who dislike the alteration
call it devastation
