Hey You

It’s beautiful not knowing

What it’s all about

Not burdened by the question

No, nothing to figure out

Another chance renewed

Simplicity easily forgotten

You plus Love equal Peace

And that’s all that I believe in

Walk

Old memories quickly fade

As the sun warms their faces

The gentle ocean breeze

Removing painful traces

The world trying desperately

To destroy happiness

Jealously misunderstood

Undeterred is their success

Silence complimented

By the shifting of the sand

Smiles are exchanged

As they walk hand in hand

Question

Finally I beg the question

As we strive along together

Name a goal that warrants our days

And that of generations forever

We consume ourselves with this or that

In the end frivolity

Happiness a selfish pursuit

A label born of jealousy

How does one find meaning

When all the world does fight

Day escaping like unseen winds

As fleeting as day and night

Still no answer as of yet

To justify our part

Perhaps we should instead look inward

To review the content of heart

Looking solely in the mirror

Weight, parsing, trying to see

If a value can be found

Or what we might could be

Finding in us simplicity

That could slow this wretched time

A cheek to kiss, a hand to hold

Could offer peace sublime

Yes to love, no matter belief

The only answer known

To give without expecting

That you yourself will own

Kindness and no judgment

Destroying egos along the way

Taking off youth’s blinders

Living fully every day

Break Room

Clinging to our weakness
Of our disorders proud
The truth a relative tool
But in title, not allowed
The pain must be nurtured
To hurt with a noble cost
Applying pressure to the erring one
To the man we deem lost

Faux

Hiding in a mixture of

Nothing even resembling love

Masking the worst attributes

While insecurity is breaking loose

Ignoring what would mean the most

To wholly heal and protect the host

We say we want to keep “it” real

As long as “it” has mass appeal

Analyzing what we say

Losing ourselves along the way
