deserving of lowercase

your newly constructed house

paper thin and pretty

it sits in the sky

nothing beneath

you stare past the view

of the castle below

it's grounded

your home

yet burns

you're blind

Should you shrink.

Waffle. Flake. Bananas. Nuts.
Oh, the commonalities.
What are you afraid of?
The height is still as high, the second time as the first.
Should you shrink from such sights?
Just as well.
Shrink.
For the end will bring ease to you.
Ease and a far less treasure.

Happy Place

In time, keeping time
Make it so I don't think
Wait for a signal, follow, repeat
Throw in a surprise
The challenge of not thinking
Not anticipating the next step
Mind unengaged, distant, calm
Heart numb and careless
A step, a spin, a tailored move
The charm of leaving behind
If only for awhile

A shade painted untrue

Eh.
There ya' are
Few and far between
Only there when you wanna be
Or not, maybe it's me
Maybe my hesitant heart
Maybe the part that's pain
And that past paints you
It paints a shade of distrust
The shade that makes me run
I'm sorry for that
The selfish is me

Ps. 62

"Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."

Conversation

"But what if he's not my best friend?"

"Then I won't send him."

The heart of fall leaves

Uncertain and faltering
Carried by breeze
Against a gray, chilled sky
Twisted and taken by things all around
Shifting from heights low and then high
Carried to places unknown
Lands on a rooftop wishing for peace
Taken afar with a brush of change
Destiny driven
Chase of The Presence
Sets for but moments
Settled for time
