I’ve Heard
Certainty, it’s said, is fleeting It may vanish upon meeting Or offer you a warm greeting You hope it will last a lifetime Pray that it will be your lifeline Most lose it, such a rife crime It’s ephemeral, so it’s precious Though it can turn you vicious Believe it, it’s gone, suspicious Belief is […]

Distance to Anywhere or

What I Always Expected
He was sure he could encompass it all Inside of his brain, his body, his being A world grown oh so incredibly small With little work all would be agreeing But we did not agree and battles raged Despite how tightly all were connected Not yet evolved, our animal’s uncaged And really, it’s what I […]
