Fully In Love

I know you haven’t been
Fully in love
No matter what is said
What is seen.

You smile and laugh
You offer your hand to help
But still, still part of you
Doesn’t love, doesn’t feel
Anything.

Watching

Watching
Things happen at a
Happening
No one knows the road to go
Following
Down a path
Filled
With all sorts of things
Waiting
For the sun to show
Rising
Filled with glamour unsurpassed by
Anything
Yes, I’m watching

Everything.

Remember When The World Was Small

Remember when
The world was small
Worries, cares were nothing
To speak of at all.

No crashing down
Of a market
Not really existing
Not at all.

No change in time
It just moved forward
Regardless of everything
Anything at all.

No mushroom cloud
No toxic smoke
No weeping, wailing
All lost hope.

Those were to come
But when
The world was small
None of that mattered
Not at all.

We

We wonder lots of things
We ponder everything
We walk in step with nature
Believing
Anything is possible
Anything.

Can’t Remember

Can’t remember
Where or what I’ve been.

Can’t remember
If I sang a song of happiness
Or something in between.

Can’t remember
Can’t remember anything.
