I toss a stone into 
The poets wishing well
Just to hear the echo
Of the overreaching quill...

You aren't overreaching.
You aren't living in a daydream.

It is possible.
Go get it child

Remember to own your dreams and remember that they are valid.


If it moves you then you can achieve it even if takes you forever....

Twisting, turning
Ever yearning
For enduring
Cherished love.

Talking, teaching
Loved ones preaching
Overreaching
Unwanted words.

Finding, binding
Love so blinding
It’s spellbinding
Worth the wait.

Growing, glowing
Love all-knowing
Years soft-flowing
With my love....

When the flowers bloom
And the grass is wet
You know its spring.

When the sun shines
And your skin simmers
You know its summer. 

When your lies are outrun
And exhaustion is overreaching
You know its depression.

When you cry
And feel your spirit break
You know its death.

When you dance for joy
And your thoughts are consumed
You know
It’s Love....

Simplicity

Is a rope
And a note

Note

Sanity was a plea
Completely reversed you see
Behind the bars
Safe in the murky lurkings
Of Ambient sentiments and whiskey sour
The minds overreaching memories
Existed or not
Little matters
Of loves long sifted
Drifting closer to shore
The boat demands the rope
Be tied 
Just before, from my grasp I release
The note...

Ever have I fought,
Against God,
Against myself.
Ever did I struggle,
Always demanding,
Always overreaching.
Whatever I thought I wanted,
I was given,
I was granted.
Never the dream realized,
But, reality pure,
But, reality harsh.
Always given what was wanted,
But, obliged to pay for it,
But, obliged to struggle for it.
Now, I cease to fight,
Against God,
Against myself.

I do not ask....

Overly possessing the karma, 
you sail in meditation.
Does creation tag along 
the destruction of self ?

The chain persists. You leave 
the theater. The ancient 
voice gives the soft resoundings.

Something was always left 
to say. The neophyte will 
not speak. The arms 
were overreaching.

Take hold of the window.
Some light will have deep 
penetration. Edge was very
sharp. Pack up your belongings.

Always in such a hurry
Pressing forward, moving on
Reaching for that which you think you are due
Every moment of the day spent in pursuit
Climbing that invisible ladder
Instead of taking time to look around
Overreaching, over expecting, demanding
Unrealistic measures of success
Simply noticing the beauty
God has placed along your path
Is the greatest thing a person can do
Finding joy in every moment
This is harder than it seems...
