There are so many little things I admire… Like the stool on the wind… and the table on your skin… I just admire.
There are people on the streets… singing melodies I’ve forgotten… The little things that I admire… in a tropical setting.
Can you count the tiny little thoughts… wandering in your thought… shit-ing on your balcony.
The melodies that the people sing… seem to echo through the wind.
The taste of the air is the smell of your pain… and the little things that I admire… seem to be lost in my own imagination.
Can you tell… the small desires… that keep on creeping in the meadows… Can you tell… the small tastings… that you sip out of your morning coffee.
Tell me now… tell me that these thoughts are endless… and how they keep on going to and from a lost land that you seek from where you stand… It’s a miracle… that you know… where you stand.
Tell me now… is it true… is it time to say goodnight to the mourning doves that carry your sorrows into the morning breeze that ends in a twilight…
Is it true… Is it real… Is it what I have been desiring to know… If I could… just have a handful of sand… from the moon… I would be happy to know that you are here… in the core of my half-eaten apple fruit…
Oh what a twirl of delight… that keeps on taking a spin in life… Take me far… from where I stand… I seem to be bored… where I am… Tell me so… that I am not where I believe to be.
Somewhere far… I can see… the smog consuming the sheltering trees… with God’s eyes staring back at me… in the meadows of the dark.
Have you seen… the mighty glow… that carries all those melodies the people sing… what they see on the streets where they stand where they live in harmony.
Love is all we have tonight… the sentiment… that grows in sight… Oh now I tell you so… I’ve gathered much too much to consume.
Here’s the wind… that carries the past… my skin reacts to the sorrows in the wind… My skin tightens from the chills of the past and I must layer another skin… to protect me from my own past.
Nightingales sing tonight in the dusk that the sun delays… The songs so slow to mimic the atmosphere of doom… Nightingales… will you stop… stop your singing that makes me cringe… I need you not… at least today to remind me of the times I used to say… Bless me god… bless me universe… for all the things you have given me… I have risen from the ashes of my past.
As I take a deep breath from the air that stares me down… my lungs expand to only exhale the stares away… Now I know… it is true… that where I stand is where I choose.
