Anyway

Anyway,

I have lost more 
than I have found,

I have found more 
than I have gained,

I have gained more 
than I could keep,

I have kept more 
than I could love,

I have loved more 
than I could hold,

I have held more 
than I could give,

But I have surely given 
a lot.

Now I need some for myself...
but anyway!

...drifting without sugar

The root of your smile

From the root of your smile
rain says goodbye
When stuck in the root
waving casts the die

If the light is too bright
shadows remain sharp
So your tail still swings
As the wind blows high

From the root of your smile
sojourns begin again
When the waves bring hope
The clouds stare amok

If the light is too bright
eyes remain shut
For within that simple smile
Your gait finds rest

From the root of your smile

When I sing



When I sing
It swings
The all seeing eye
Clutches

When I pluck
It sings
The soft copper cord
Embraces

When I glide
It slides
The gentle blue steed
Curves

Who will laugh
Who will smile
Who will share the splints and sprint

Steady, Ready
Keep it Simple
Keep it plain
Smile

For nothing

If nothing wasn't lost
So why did I find it


If nothing is impossible
So why did I make it

If nothing is for free
So why did it cost me

If nothing wasn't done
So why did I finish it

If nothing shouldn't be told
So why did I reveal it


If nothing was seen
So why did I miss it


If nothing came out
So why did I hide it

Since nothing just happens
I will just keep it

****

For my mirage in the eclipse
Adopted for 'flawless affections, drifting without sugar'
