Something I don’t know is seeking me
aimlessness and paranoia
are the same
unless...
I don’t know that
a steak dinner is following me
that doesn’t make me paranoid
maybe a steak dinner
is seeking me
Are me and a steak dinner
circling around each other
in the dark
and we don’t even know
if we’re looking for each other
patience brings everything
to those that are patient.
The unseen power
Like a spirit
Blows away
The dust of time
Exposing new growth
Carrying seeds of wisdom
Everywhere
Changing life’s landscape
Carrying dreams
Like an unseen power
Invisible but so existing.
The Truth
by Daniel Cox
Spur of the moment
so they say
you say,
“I give up; I am quitting you!”
When it was my turn to speak,
the only word I uttered,
was never...
