structured sound of silence booms.

Dawdling against inevitable fate
temporarily holds in check...

Roots and searching for answers
Tiny boxes music dancers
Small, petite, and slowly climbing
Slowly songs release, forever winding

just as humankind sits down
among the gods partaking
of the succulence of truth,

It will be evident too 
much in our sober 
confidences,
Trusting all we needed 
and to our little yatch

Making room for so much 
creativity and learned 
respect,
Grace for tommorrow 
and our hope's needed 
leaps to...

He was the odd boy in the family
in a town that doesn’t rhyme with anything.

Through the ages of time, fish can swim, whales
Blow a rainbow fine, and...
