time travel

inside out

i kept wondering why the inside of my tea box looked so pretty and then realized i could turn the box inside out and re-glue it. the lesson here is: it really is what's on the inside that counts!

forest for the trees

damp dawn filled day

stumbling over rocks and road blocks

whispering prayers of disbelief

to walls holding back silence

fingers of doubt and death

the tenrils, clinging dew drops

seep into cracks and creased edges

beauty found where life is lost 

smoke in my eyes

(looking out instead of looking in

impatiently waiting for a sign to begin)

star light

star bright

first star i see tonight

i wish i may

i wish i might

have this wish i wish tonight
