I still miss you...

"I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
TO TELL YOU THE SUN HAS RISEN,
TO SAY THAT THE MORNINGS
ARE STILL IN BLOOM LIKE FIRE
LILIES CARPETING A BURNT SKY.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
TO TELL YOU THE YELLOW HEADED
BLACKBIRDS HAVE DECORATED
THE PINETREE OUTSIDE AGAIN
AND WHENEVER THEY DANCE
THEY TURN INTO THE EYELETS
OF A LARGE PEACOCK TAIL
SPREAD JUST FOR US.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
TO SAY THAT MY HEART STILL
FEELS EMPTY BUT MY SOUL
COMPLETE LIKE THE FULL MOON
IN A CLOUDLESS SKY,

THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED
SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE,
THAT THE SUN STILL RISES
AND THE TREES STILL SPREAD
THEIR WINGS AND THAT MY HEART
IS STILL FULL OF STARS.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
TO TELL YOU I AM HEALING,
THAT WITH EVERY BURNT SKY
A NEW FLOWER GROWS IN ITS
PLACE, PETAL BY PETAL,

TO TELL YOU THAT I AM FULL
OF A SONG I STILL DON’T KNOW
THE WORDS TO YET BUT
IT IS COMING, AND ONE DAY
I WILL SING IT FOR YOU."

you are...

"YOU ARE LIKE THE TREE
WHOSE MAGNIFICENCE
LIES NOT IN THE LENGTH
OF IT’S BRANCHES,
BUT IN ALL THE BIRDS WHO
TRUST THOSE BRANCHES
TO BUILD THEIR HOMES."

we alone….

WE ALONE CAN DEVALUE GOLD
BY NOT CARING
IF IT FALLS OR RISES
IN THE MARKETPLACE.
WHEREVER THERE IS GOLD
THERE IS A CHAIN, YOU KNOW,
AND IF YOUR CHAIN
IS GOLD
SO MUCH THE WORSE
FOR YOU.

FEATHERS, SHELLS
AND SEA-SHAPED STONES
ARE ALL AS RARE.

THIS COULD BE OUR REVOLUTION:
TO LOVE WHAT IS PLENTIFUL
AS MUCH AS
WHAT’S SCARCE.

not enough...

"ALL NEGATIVITY IS CAUSED BY AN ACCUMULATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME AND DENIAL OF THE PRESENT.

UNEASE, ANXIETY, TENSION, STRESS, WORRY - ALL FORMS OF FEAR - ARE CAUSED BY TOO MUCH FUTURE,

AND NOT ENOUGH PRESENCE. GUILT, REGRET, RESENTMENT, GRIEVANCES, SADNESS,

BITTERNESS, AND ALL FORMS OF NON-FORGIVENESS ARE CAUSED BY TOO MUCH PAST, AND NOT ENOUGH PRESENCE."
