Respite

The world is so noisy
I seek respite
The pointless noise making
The invisible desire to fight
The world just won't quiet
& have a moment to breathe
Take me somewhere better
To a place, I need

Time is powerful
Yet a funny thing
Your laugh carried by it in its greatest form of freedom
A passing moored in increasing confusion
Yet within its forgotten pastures you become yourself
Pure & without hesitation
As you wander the garden filling the wheelbarrow
With the fruits of the joyous present
A place of harmony, a place of peace
A home not a house, a basic need
All angels shelter you with their wings
They are formless light shaped beacons
It's a given, we'll miss you when you go
Please close your eyes
We've brought you home

I do not need to be with you in that way again
Your life I wish an endless joyous occasion
I do not need to awaken by your side instead
Of the one who keeps your morning filled smiles
Upon your bed
Our lives a series of crashing trees
Some to build from
Some that form worry
I love truly, you are not mine to keep
I am grateful for all you taught me how to be
Our former forest a 森林 of memory
Your current forest to my ears a series of silent trees
I keep you in my prayers, clear from all doubt
Our romantic peak with love, shall take a bow
Your wonderfulness is one I no longer treasure
Yet I wish it for you, within all your life
As we stride beyond into renewed chapters
Unobstructed by nostalgia, empowered by times of fondness
I move forward, my arms gathering up new feathers
Our renewed forest of possibility, rustling in our endeavours
The wind in the trees, may they offer you a bounty of peace & pleasure

I make this just for you
Your lonely hand yearning for the squeeze
The comfort of guidance, of serenity
I make this for you, in your lonelier sleeps
For feelings are things that we are to question
I make this for your burdened soul to feel free
Alone is a wonderous place of great beauty
To be lonely is a church that calls you to weep
I make this present, for once, just for you
A presence for your reaching hand
To pull you arising from your cavern of feelings
The sunbeams of colour shine like crystalline sand
Endless possibility calls
'Come wander...'
Asks the land

Yes, I Like You

I have stood before a hidden lake
Its rising mist curling in the light of the mountains
I have watched the sunrise reflect from the shine
Of wonderous golden shrines & temples
I have cleared my mind upon pure springs
& crossed the vastness of cavern depths
Sat beneath whispering trees & the cascade of moonlight
Stood before scenes of our wonderous humanity
For you are here
In your colours & contradictions
We touch our hearts & how you are
Burns up my face
I like you
It's a given
I have wandered the vast worlds
From the deserts that burn searing heat
To the revealing of multiple stars & their gifts of dreams
The jungle alive, an unnamed Isle
A gathering of loved ones for a wonderful while
The delicious produce of joyous occasion
The moments in life that ring in celebration
Yes, I have wandered these vast worlds
Profound in all their beauty & wavering oceans deep
Yet in a moment, in a tiny creaking doorway
You move at my words & quietly transform
Into the most breath-taking sight, I have ever seen
