open space

countenance
my vision is clear

most of the time

i can see what is going on

past
present tense
and emotional graffiti
blurring my landscape

surpassing commonsense or

my peripheral understanding

of what is beyond
what is expected to be explored.

i look

daily searching for a message or
answer to existential confusion

yours and mine

it is a mixed up world
and we create a part of it

I can see that

as plain as they say
any damn day

what I can’t see
I will try to comprehend

intentionally living
unintentional changes
without reservation
no hesitation
or validation required
reminding my self
of my intentions
loosening up my expectations
unconditional remediation
inconsequential meditation
self-respect
diversification
visceral behavior modification
clear path to a destination
beginning with
visualization
walk on

Absurdity or reality: can
it not be one in the same?
Honestly.

                        It is poetry,
as simple or as elaborate
as it may be.

Emotions or messages
blurred across the page.
Accurate.
                        Insightful.
Heartfelt: if you believe.

If you look,
you will see         poetry.

It is honesty.

April is Poetry Month
right here
poetry every day

honestly

Maybe today we need a little more time? The bed is warm and it’s a bit too early to decide.
The weekend was appreciated, but not quite long enough (they never are), and just another day of rest and relaxation would be so meaningful.
In and amongst all the excuses that you make, give yourself permission to take a little break.
You’ll be a better person for it.

Don’t we all need
to know more.
Deeper knowledge
will require
greater thought.

Think about it.
