“Dolphins”




Trying to find your way

In a World

That enforces a particular way,

If you’re the least bit an individual

Makes you feel strangled,

Opening and shutting

Like the gills of a fish-



Similar to a human heart

Which must open and close

In order to Live-



That is the nature of life

It is as eccentric as the table of elements

Notorious,

For their ability to evolve

In the grip of another-



Perhaps that is when we are most alive

When our particular chemistry

Intermingles with another.

Some will continue to say:

“We are all just fish being caught in a trolling net”

However,

I’ve been witness,

That some of us,

Slip through

The tiny rips,

 In mankind’s web,

And,

We escape,

In the orange shadows of the sunset,

Of the mysterious Ocean-


There in that wild abandon,

Where safety is left

To the caution of the wind,

You might find that elusive freedom

That seems to be shrinking

In this rapidly changing world

We find ourselves


Living in.

The March Of Lions

Living for the past...

"Draw open the shades"

(That is what the "experts of happiness" say)

But they can not know,

How rich

You feel in Midnight Snow,

When you traverse

The former world-


Okay, 

I'll give it to you just once more:

Midnight snow; 

The former world-


I'm sorry,

I don't have to explain it to you

Of course you know,

The month symboled by

Two Fish,

Pisces as its been called

By the watchers of stars,

Marks springtime for some

And the end of a longer journey

For the others...


The poets,

I guess you'd say,

Or those who just deeply know,
The third month

Comes in like a Lion

And leaves like a Lamb-


Oh, those lucky few,

They also Know,


In spaces of vulnerability, 

Is only where 

One can truly become,

A roaring Leo

Once Again.
