Short Stuff…

****

My Spir­it used to answer me
when I was filled with ques­tions.
Now it only watch­es me
and lis­tens to sug­ges­tions.

****

Dri­ving through insan­i­ty
was nev­er more than fleet­ing
Until I paused to say hel­lo;
respond­ing to its greet­ing.

****

Tak­ing pause to think of you;
I’m back with you awhile.
Your reas­sur­ing con­fi­dence
could always make me smile.

****

Child­hood inter­ests urged me on
in search of mys­tic realms,
an end­less quest for fan­ta­sy
inspired by vivid dreams.

****

My soul was more enchant­ed
than yours would ever be,
My mind was prone to see­ing things
that yours would nev­er see.

With­in my great desire to live;
your wish­es set me free,
My end­less search for some­thing else
defined real­i­ty.
