I always say
Maybe it will feel
Different in the morning
Waiting for the wind
To change

I always say
Maybe it will feel
Different in the morning
Waiting for the wind
To change

River in spring with snow melt, I am
You an ancient mountain steady and unchanged, solid
How does one learn?
Pure observation.
I dare not chip away or erode its surface.
Clear pools of rainwater collect
Only showing my reflection
The endless sky.
It gives away nothing of itself.
I can't know anything.
Those who can sit in silence might hear something.
Spring river is not capable of silence.
Though how beautiful when the river pours through the mountain.
They are made for each other
Without the other, no richness of life.

Allow me to launch
An idea, feeling
Observation
Into thin air
Let it hang
As long as it will
Neither deflate
Or fill with hot air
Shoot down or up
To the atmosphere
Satellite of love
In orbit

She'd be a stream
By the rivulet
Watching the flow
Mingling of elements
On the rivers' edge
Carrying living seeds
New creations
To eternal sea

Silence is sweet vessel
For lost worlds of time
Words surround warmed
By captured sunrise

'Hold on through the late nights
I'll be dreaming of you
Won't let your heart break
I'm gonna see this through
No ocean keeps me from you'
-EXES

Brisk pinch of crisp rivers tears
Whitewater noise fills my ears
Trickling down all these years
Solace soothes heart fears

I know
The provenance
Of stringed instruments
The tree from whence it came
But never heard you play
I miss you, dearly
So much so
I recall clearly
Lottery days
Sunning ourselves or seeking shade
Silence listens to our breathing
A seat at your picnic table
Winning
How lucky I was
Like a billionaire
With nothing in hand
But love and admiration
Need I say?
A past never erased
Nor wished away
Held onto, still as
Cool aqua tarn
Smiles to the gills
Though I recall
My anxious face
Mirrored in yours
How I wished
Upon lucky orange belly feather
Sacred shells under webbed feet
How to make you happier
Than ever before, shall we?
Need I say?
I regret one thing
We are a culmination
Of all that had been
I longed for sweet escapism
Take your hand into the blue
Drift on cloudy scenes
From breakfast till noon
Ride the racing waves
Till breath escapes
Revive till night
Closes our eyes
Once again
