Despite knowing you for many years
I rushed into your life like
a comet rushes through the sky;
Like a comet, driven by its fire.
I rushed into your life
maybe too fast, maybe too much. Light or fire?
I rushed into your life
supposing you’d be happier.
Like a comet driven by its fire
Light, like sudden realization.
It seemed to me only right
that I should rush into your life.
I’ve been here silent,
watching you from far away
And suddenly you looked at me
And I fell from the sky.
You had me falling for you
But am I burning too bright?
?

People around
I have people
surrounding me
stories
mixing, twirling, screaming
a whole lot of silences
dying to be heard.
Thoughts drowning in ink,
paper hugging lives.
I follow the wind
I drink sunset light
reflection
on the lake’s mirror.
