Silver droplets swirl
Uncertain fractures erode
Crows laugh futilely...

Waves crash futilely 
against granite cliffs
yet beyond the 
rocks lies sand...

When some Birds-of-Paradise sit to dine,
they may eat a fruit like a clementine.
Others prefer an insect to a plant,
favoring a futilely praying mantis....

I am silent, my screams rest
In the back of my throat
My heart beats viciously beneath my breast
I struggle to hold to a sinking boat

My lungs breathe the sea
Yet somehow, I still am alive
Currents, waves roll about around me
I am still, though I futilely strive

You yell and reach for my hand
But I am so far away
Through tempests, will you stand
And help me find my way?...

Sometimes I'm compelled to roar right now I think I'll whisper
Beyond these doors cant hear a sound Im talking to my sister

Listen

From within pull strength thats heaven sent 
This worlds rhetoric is irrelevent

Pray

Keep nourishin the positive notion That bein outspoken
Means your chosen to heal the silently broken

Teach

They ridicule the knowingly spectacular
In attempts to futilely taint the chapters

Overcome...

I stand alone, ashore before
The suns inevitable quench.
My eyes absorb the golden brown
Horizon melting into night.
The teasing tide touches my feet
Like a juvenile game of tag.
My hurried mind futilely fights
The suns descending final dip
That will take with it the beauty
And my reasons for being here.
The darkened clouds in the twilight
Loom like rudderless ships at sea;
And not unlike the seeming ships
I disappear into the night....
