My feared stumble across the street,

eyes only, for my feet.

My destination, still unknown

my shadow left me, on my own.

A cold wind howled,

then i frowned,

then i smiled,

at somethhing i found.

A brown leaf lay,

the brown leaf stayed,

i picked it up,

it changed my day.

One side was alive,

living a life,

the other dead,

brown and not nice.

I compared this leaf,

in disbelief,

to my own ways

and the life i lead.

Sometimes its fine,

green and alight,

other times it's bad,

filled with fright.

But just as the wind, life does change

for me and the leaf,

we have our days,

so differently different,

in many ways.

Like the floods from north

flowed the tears of thought

to cope with pain

was not what she was taught.

Innocent but brave, she stood tall

courage a plenty, her so small

everlasting perseverance

or would she fall?

Like a cold black night

her life coated with fright

not a sound nor a whisper

was in her sight.

Determined to change, her surrounds

form a solid foundation, as her grounds

as life crumbled around her

torment was all she found.

Like a discarded home

she was left on her own

her smile depleted

despair was all she'd know.

22

Intrinsic world. Never

Mystifying problems. Always

Motionless deliberation. Sometimes

Comprehended  ideas. Anticipated 

Conversant thought. Rare

Unacquainted actions. Common

2O

Arising pain, just as the sun

forget never, that it will disappear

just as the sun.

Flooded tears, just as the rain,

never forget, they shall dry

just as the rain.

Helpless thought, just as the fire,

forget never, that must burn

just as the fire.

Invisible scars, just as the wind,

never forget, they will blow

just as the wind.

day 19

Half dead, half alive, hardly noticed, hardly tried.

Half hearted, half asked, barely checked, barely marked.

Half good, half bad, often better, often sad.

Half right, half wrong, occasion short, occasion long.

Half this, half that, simply amazing, simply bad.

Half you, half me, another half, another peice.

Half missing, half found, quietly spoken, quiet sound.

Half together, half alone, forever now, forever our own.

HALF IS WHOLE, WHEN YOU’RE AROUND

Fear exists in change
and I feel every piece
Some part suggests otherwise
but still I seem to fear.

If change happens rapidly
then what will i lose?
If change never happens
then what will i gain?

Day wonSEVEN

In our darkest hour,
we must not devour,
our thoughts of sweetnees,
our thoughts of sour.


In the sky beneath,
we must not lose belief,
our uniqueness is treat,
we must beleive.

In our hast of pace,
our life's turn to waste,
for the people in power,
their embarassment is saved.


On the planet of earth,
we ponder our worth,
but it seems to evade,
has done since birth.


On this clock well timed,
our rights are tried,
would anyone care?
if we all just died?


On this unknown land,
we must take our chance,
for the way we collapse
is out of our hands.


If our time's not spent,
and there is nothing left,
then their forceful actions,
will not be condemned.


If my heart falls through,
which i expect will do,
can you save me please,
no one else but you.


If all else fails,
left on that winding trail,
as one i will conquer,
i will not fail.
