I Would Trade a Universe

There was a time when I needed or wanted everything

So I started out with this disadvantage
Under this impression
Befallen with these stars and clusters
A thing so large for something so small to be
Going further then you could conceive or believe
Ruined more than remains
And no world to be saved
Just me

I find myself with fewer concerns resigned to see everything in this now
No where to go it all comes to me

I would trade a universe for this moment and I have
There is nothing out there that is not in here

In small places I thought I glimpsed large enough universes
They were more than I knew and I would trade them all for you
All around every day no great sacrifice just what I want to be

Ends do not always come
Some things never really start
Other last awhile and make you wish for no end

Some thoughts come more than others
Some faces you can see with eyes closed
There are so many universes I would trade for you
Walk out on part of myself because we are many

What I want
What I need
What I know I am
What I will be

There we shall see
More than a world given away

Something so large for a small thing to be
Everything I am is little
I will not arrive everywhere and will miss most things

Everyday I trade I find more
I enjoy the process

Broken Thread

Waves don't only live in the ocean
They come along here to this shore

That's reef rash even though none here
What was it I was talking about

A broken thread that would not break along the shore
The water quality was not degraded

There are many reasons to write
Most important one is to remember something

It is prose that never loses meaning
Most does yes actually as you become new not old

Better like wine, the words will not all resonate
There are strangers in your own soul

Also in front of you
To tie these together you would make the world better

I broke it was time

Advice

The best advise I ever received does not fit your context
I would share if I could
The person who gave it you could not experience as I did

Perhaps I could tell you but it wouldn't be done
It gets better when I think of it
Edges get rounded softened

Everything must be done so we get about doing
Being is not unique in the distance beyond distance
You only read this a certain amount of times

In many places we do not know each other
Some we hold each other closer
Let us get on with this

Do Not Speak Out of Ignorance

Outside there is an essential essence that most miss
Obscure something everything shares
There is disadvantage built into every grain of evolution

Advantage is the experience of finding things go on the whole positive
No there is no other answer
Keep up is all you can do
Ineffable qualities that find a whole

Experience finds purpose for everything
I have found five uses for long eye lashes so far

The other side non-being you be
Opposite of experience we have not
Where you are you have arrived
How you go is an answer for tomorrow
Why you see you have no questions

The other side of knowledge you learn
Opposite of ignorance we have created
When is now
