The Surprise I Always Knew

Came home and found you, waiting.
Alone was I, my life was fading.
A dance of joy, a movement of balance,
A celebration of your many talents.

Arrived finally at the truth
Your reaction was all the proof
Together, always, we shall find
Nothing but a singular mind.

The beauty is all in reach,
Focus on what’s never preached
After-anything always comes
The beat of the clock always drums.

Limitless

A contented song
from a bird that quietly sings,
and while it rings
a chance to rest,
for at this moment, all is best.

Sharing its simplicity,
never guilty of duplicity
to the following truth:
The sky has no roof.

The chains of the mind
will return, in-kind,
the perception of hell
in exchange for an empty shell.

The things that we hold
as we inevitably grow old
wither away.
But we never leave,
there is nothing to bereave.
Celebration sitting on a branch
Life’s whistle, a wonderful trance.
