Wind blowing, delightful colors aroma
Croissant delivered, luscious blond
Soul weakness, hibernation into unification
Her looks, sky eyes, drenching my thankful soul
Grateful carnivores, devouring sweet mutual lust
Blooming delight, vermillion strokes takes the toll
Tuscan sunset, tranquil shamrock shining into adoration

Mind focused on the hiss, air depletion
Raft sinking, drifting in the darkest of currents
Total focus on the task at hand, bailing liquid death
Uncertain of the surroundings, fixating on fixing
Helpless again, life personified
Problems arising, too fast to handle
And the water continues, the bailing accelerates
Focus, fix the problem
Bail the water
No moon, dark as the the ace of spades
Mind melting fear rising, running from again
Bailing and sinking, sinking and bailing
Current pushing but I cannot look, I must focus
Deeper I sink, into the coldness I plunge
Days of fear, overwhelming coming to fruition
Drowning swallowing me, the final act of surrender
Living in this moment, destruction of grand state
Righteous indignation of my situation, bathing in the melancholy
And all the while, the shore is bountiful
Only 50 feet away

Kaleidoscope spinning my deepest curiosities
Inspiration exertion enthralling my heart
Desiring the rare interlude for more
Passionate thrill with unworried jealousies
Chasing the feeling of unlimited excess
Combining the three into a luscious twilight
Giving in to the nerves but shying from nothing
Drenched palpitations into exhausted delight

Sitting in the baking sun
Feeling nothing as I quickly retreat
Anxiousness coursing my hairline throughout
Trying to breathe is the devil’s detail
Piercing sadness pollinating exponential growth
Great pains resulting in skinned knees
Scabbed healing compelling mental fortitude
Thankful for the setback
For in it lies dormant improvement
Waiting to arch its back and show its grace
The difficulties, the impediments
Hosting compassion for me to grasp
Those times I fear are the times I grow
Expanding understadning of my pained soul
Schooled through the folly of my fluctuations
I again get up, skinned knees and all
Dusting off the shroud of hurt and glowing in that magnificence

Resting laurels find mediocre outcomes
Resilience and persistence must override fear
Anxiety is excitement when framed with thought
Results are immaterial when measurements aren’t material
Yet the material life drives chronic chasing
Of everything resulting in empty bottles and pipes
And shopping carts of credit card receipts
Needing more to fulfill
This chase is as empty as heaven’s nazi population
Glittering prizes leaving the soul diminished and dry
Panting like a desert dweller down to his last
Showering praise on those dear .0001%
Trillions for a hundred and billions for 8 billion
Darwin’s foot found us helpless and distraught
Determined to be more a fool’s errand for many
Praying for outcomes that baffle the sane
Knowing I’m grateful for the lack of the abundance
