Being fearless is

Fearlessness

Is not a clueless unknowing

Of what is to come

Or how you will survive

Fearlessness is

Knowing what could come

(What will come)

And still doing it anyway

And everyday, done

Fullness isn’t

Fullness

Isn’t something to aspire to in this life

But helping

Helping is something

On the other side of strive

Towards which we swim

And into the hopefulness of lost

Often dive deep

As we as believers are those

Who try

Burning papers as a tanka

Burning papers slow

Never really worked for me

As a means of this

Sudden departure of mind

We humans call letting go

The support

As much as I want

To live alone

And to know

No other responsibilities than these

I now see

Just how much greater life is

Both with can and will be

Of a togetherness shared

It is the difference between earth and eternity

And this I see now

With ease

The support

Thrax

More powerful than anthrax

Is the mere touch of hatred

On either skin or heart

It is deadly and lost

I do not recommend

Unforgiving is such

A poison to the touch

It’s not about you

The greatest crazy

Anyone can assume

Is that everyone

And everything

And every leaf blown breeze

Is somehow about you

Which it is not

Though you are a part of it

Just let go

Anew, true, you

As seasons turn

So also do days 

Into moments in mind

And new memories formed

Where the spring of our youth

Becomes immortal in fall

And then frozen till spring

Returns anew

And we are forgotten as thoughts

So is true

So is you

(And your memories alike)

This is the fullness

Of mind and moment combined

Which my forehead feels

Even more of eyes and light

The turning of eyes

Away from you

And onto others

Is no less a representation

Of ones own personal glow

But instead that perhaps

The light of day had shone

Out much brighter than most

On the specific day when

You had chose to try

Just so you know

You should care not about nos

Dawn dark day

Pray for a dawn

In the dark of night

Without knowing how days work

And one day

When you finally understand

How light concurs all

And each day comes alive

And you will see what was sent

What was meant

And that you were always intended to be

Alive and in eyes

At this very time

Wish Together

All you can really wish for in being

Is not for surprises

Or for the lack thereof 

(Together)

But for a constant admiration 

For an unending and honest

Affirmation of heart

That in being together 

There will always be the better of 

As compared to the prior

The unknowing

The all wishing

The apart

Candles

Trust me when I say

That all candles have been

As in a hurricane

Exterminated

By such a time and place

And by such force of rain

That I cannot wax

Even the memory of such a wick

Let alone find one again

To consider

Not a chance
