meditations on living/dancing in the moonlight

I write poetry. I write songs

more than that, I write music

not to instrumentals

but the motherfucking Universe.

I tell her how much I love her, and she listens

she understands. and, you know what?

fuck this bullshit

she loves me too.

who are you choosing to be?

we have choices:

daily, hourly, minute-by-minute

groundhog splendour,
resplendent delusion.

you see, we

can’t a/b test

the everyday adventure

but that makes it all the more

special and important.

can’t ‘know’ what or why, so

give up trying; focus on

something a little more important.

friend, what the hell are you going to do with your life?

your magic, your art, your fire.
I see you and I feel you and I know you as I

know and love and see and feel and grapple with

myself.

don’t sell yourself short.

decide who you’re going to be. then, be that person.

J U S T B E

everything else can wait.
