What I know

It seems so joyful
When others do it;
I feel left out somehow.

I've wanted to touch,
       longed to hold,
       and dreamt to live
-but what?

If I knew that then
I guess I could be happy.
Can I?
Will I?

What are you-
but a figment of my imagination?
-An idea perhaps?

An idea... yes!
An idea.
Maybe someday more,
but for now-
I'm content.

I'm warm.
My thoughts are warm,
Except for the shadows
     that sometimes walk by.
Like the one that chases me
     down the hallway.

Fear has never been felt before now.

What was it...
I don't know.
Maybe I'm not supposed to.
It remains - Unknown.
Or does it?

Yes- we fear what we do not know.
I fear what I've come to know.

I am what I am because
I wont let myself be
What I want!

Let go!
Let go your fears and
Let in your dreams.
Believe in believing!
It is there.

the fearless

once upon a Winter when

I winged above the way up where

and all was white and windy in

the way back then, when I was here.

down the rainway, muddy water

skips with dipping rolling pleasure

right around the Autumn corner

in the heart of my young lover

soon upon a Summer sunset

stars will rest 'till all is ageless

here the sounds of whispered heartbeats

tripping silent in the darkness

lend me pennies for my pockets

lay me down upon Spring's bed

lead the way and we will walk it

lie to me when words are said

when the road forks left and rightness

dandelions thrive all Season

wild soul-houses for the fearless

given more to rhyme, than reason.

There is nothing we must do. There is nothing we must have. There is nothing we must be. There is nothing we must know. However, it is important to remember that when it rains we can get wet and that fire burns.
