Shattered Glass


I had a dream last night that we were friends. best friends.
That you knew my middle name and I knew yours.
We talked and hung out late.
When It got dark we went outside for a walk.
In my dream we toke film photographs,
of the stars and passing cars.


Never have I had a dream that felt so real,
 I could smell the autumn trees and the scent of a campfire,
It was like I knew you my whole life,
You were happy and so was I
You told me all about your day
 and it felt good to just talk.
To just sit in the grass and just not care about anything, 

but you.


I stared at you for along time,
and then you said,

"Someday w.."

A bell rang through the air and you broke like glass
and that's when I knew you were a dream.
I stared at my bedroom ceiling for what felt like an hour.

It was nice to pretend that we were real.

Geometric Minds

The Perfect Dream - art work by Lance Hewison
"You were always drawing the lines,
Why can't we just make up our minds?
I know I was never your favorite shape,
 Maybe Its time to escape?

My elbows don't bend the way they should,
I would change that if I could.
Teal triangle skies
Would you love me?
Purple square eyes,
Would you love me? 
Can take a peak inside,
that Geometric mind?

Trying to find out whats behind,
that geometric mind.

Trying to find out whats behind,
that geometric mind.

I thinks about time,
tell me whats on your mind."




Night Walks

 The warm air is back.
Its about time I go for a Night Walk,
To put in my headphones and lay in the field,
Its nice to relax and just think.

 I've missed the smell of nature,
It feels like it been years, two years to be exact.
 Its like I've been away from home for a very long time
The water in the creek isn't flowing yet

Sometimes I go to the park and talk out loud
to god.
I talk and and then I pause.
...

I don't talk to god a lot,
but when I do we talk for awhile.
we are pretty good pals.
Its been awhile.
