What I Seen In Skies
I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel
the pain at times
or that it's easy fighting back
tears from eyes
These wells of water helped me
maintain my peace of mind
when buoyancy recognized
the row was heavy
Waves of emotion flow
with steady lucidity
bringing with them
a bevy of things to
mention
My levees & crystal clear
intentions are boundaries
that help me avoid
attrition
Strength comes subtly
when you aren't
paying attention
& then suddenly your
mightier upon
ascension
I fail to mention secrets I've
disclosed to self
that came in times
I was supposed as
lonely
I was supposed to be but
never seen loneliness
up close enough so it's
hard to glean
It's too morose you see
& I've always been so close
to me that my adjacent self
never portrayed the scene
The lack of complacency
keeps me moving
& looking forward within
for more things
to see
So if you were to see
the world through me &
my set of eyes
you'd see that I've cried
inside but wiped the slate
before the tears had dried
It all seems soooo contrived
to the point where
my face that was etched
in stone had no place
to hide
Still I bring forth what I
feel inside as a way
to emote
letting you know
this isn't a queasy boat
Nor is it an easy wave to ride
when storms are the norm
in these outrageous
times
In my dreams I slide
sailing on sunny days
ducking the overcast
& its greasy ways
Like a bird I choose to fly
leaving things beneath
my wings behind
while I enjoy
the sky
I've said goodbye to what's
under the higher mind
choosing to stand over
the lower times
As above so below
they hear the
cries
before they evaporate
like water that
falls from cloudy
eyes
