Friends

Sometimes I wish that a moment
just wouldn’t end
It’s the moment when I look at you
and understand
without question you’re my friend

it’s when we laugh together
and challenge to do more
and better things than ever
we had done before

It’s in that moment that I know
you’ll always […]

Possibility of Dreams

I’m inspired by the impossible,
tempted by the improbable
prompted by the possible

the things that cannot be
I dream of

and take solace in the dreaming,
if not in the inactionable
things that cannot be

the things that may have a chance
should happenstance
have her way
tempt me

into continuing […]

Walk This Earth

To know this earth
I walk this earth
I walk alone
in the company of every
living thing around me

I walk the earth
to know this earth
To know myself
I walk alone
in the company of every
living thing around me

I walk the earth
to know myself

Ka Hula Pika

You move like waves of emotion
undulating in endless adulation
of a world around and within you
that every breath is inspiration
every facet intertwined
with the existence once defined
in an ancestry you carry on

I’m touched by your emotion,
the stories you’re able to tell
the adoration you have for […]

Befuddlement

This is not clear
befuddlement drapes across the face
expressing the indignant

confusion
that this technology incites.

We move forward in a world
unclear
of where we will be taken
where we are headed
or how fast we accelerate towards

a forward-thinking
forward-leaning
world

We’ve lost track
of the […]

Inadequate

There is nothing here
worthy of the
wild frustrations
in which we seek
to shelter ourselves
from that which would do us harm.

Ourselves.

There is only an inadequacy
that makes us feel
the unique indispensibility
of our inadequacy

something to drive us onward
forward
above and beyond

Frustration

I ask myself

(the frustration emerges)

a mist clouding my emergence
from the dusk of old resentments
to the freedom of new dawns

I answer myself
Thanks I think are not in order
for a shared miracle
a secret life

that has made me disappear

from the consciousness
of what is now best looked […]

Celebrate Alone

I walk away from parties
and celebrate alone
life’s travesties indistinguishable
from the pleasures I have known

I’m fraught with understanding
the virtues of this place
but have yet to find a way
to thrive and to save face

but what takes me there I wonder
as I celebrate alone
To where […]

Do I

Do I mourn the loss of who I am
or embrace the arrival of who I’ll be
Do I let what’s done trouble me,
or be my guide into eternity

Do I shun the things I should have done
or go back to where I had once begun
Do I get beyond this realm of […]

Barriers

Looking to be
in that barrier
beyond that barrier
burning brightly and obscuring all beyond
I should have lusted after freedom
and instead am shocked into
an ancient awareness;

a solemn retrospect of what had happened
had shaped,
had built the barrier
before which,
through which
lies that freedom after which […]
