| "I Watch" Over the edge There I stand I watch As my dreams fly by Flying in the wind I watch As my dreams And hopes glide by Like an autumn leaf I watch Helplessly Wondering where they go I watch My life flashes before me But only for an instant For it is blowing in the wind And is soon gone To that special place I watch Only a moment longer before I jump Off the cliff Into my dreams and hopes As I fall I watch As someone else Steps to the edge And watches |

| Untitled Out of such complexity Of multiple minds Becoming of nonexistence Just a singular form That which life is One is no longer a sight Just a simple being No more an object Than the mere air Of which it breathes For every breath Such things take One more is missed And shortening time Becomes unusually apparent The facts of which Are now lost Within the absents Of all time Simply less an object Than that of the air For time is no object Yet the lack of breath Slides us into the Complexity of multiple minds Leaving us without ourselves. |

| Trust How does one trust? Trust someone With no trust of their own? With no trust in their hearts? To trust is to depend On others. Dependency is The lack of life. The lack of life, Is death. Death is inevitable Of those who TRUST. |
