Undercurrent

Just before you stop 

Wait for it all to catch up then move again

Read a thousand pages

Did a thousand things 

To enhance the currency 

Carving out a fine tuned self

The rush of thoughts has changed

Remaining still a loud vibration

This face to that face

All the same

Still searching in a niche 

Checking invisible expectations 

To learn the key of erasures 

Starting a fresh maneuver 

From scratch

Different heat challenges the rise

Stopping to say

Language without reason 

A reason killing the ferrel 

Leave a touch for them outside the door

Little nibbles

Found a note she wrote 

Must have forgotten about it

Yet it managed not to throw itself away

Sitting there day after day 

Inside she expressed how she felt 

In her way without risking too much 

And yet 

It matters not in this here and now

Had I read it before I would have lied to myself 

Not ready for the message 

Love expressed and a yearning 

But we won’t make it there

The universe has a different idea

For each of us

Purpose we don’t fully understand

You can still commit to that 

Even if I will never commit to her

But I was open for it 

And the dance continues outside in the distant sway

With the June bugs of spring making love to summer 

In a rainbow blanket laying in a field 

Soak it up 

The water will fill again

Jumping in jumping out 

Guitars on the shore

It’s all an improv 

The collective feeds the falsity of what should be 

Better to wait for them to catch up to where you are

Even if your gone before you see it 

Been called a lot of things throughout this life 

And with an uttering tongue 

I giggle in the wind biting my lips 

Waiting for nothing but myself 

And with love to cast 

It sails a million waterways of forever 

A cyclical daydream can be manifested 

Slow the pace 

Build a bridge but get your feet wet enough to need new shoes

Every once in awhile 

Your Thoughts
