The Real World or Not?

When the road splits in a fork,
I stop and wonder.
Which is the right road?

An unknown future lays beyond each road.
We do not know what will harm us what will not.
The art form we are creating,
that comes from the heart
and reflects the pain and sorrow of people's lives,
is delicate and we do not no how much one's choice can effect the world.

There is much to learn,
everyone, everything.
To learn the process of building,
a genuine community.
To connect people to their families,
sustained by meanful work,
to be nurtured by the needed care of each other
and together raise and educate their children.

To be fair,
Everthing is equal.
To be more aware of the community around us.
To care, and help ones in need.
If we all helped each other,
places wouldn't starve.
There would not be as many wars.
Do what is right for you,
 your family, your nieghborhood, your community, your world
and the universe.
We cannot grow strong if we do not live in a place of beauty,
love, joy, safety and peace.

Your heart must believe in what you believe.
That is the way to create our dreams.
And follow it, follow it to what you believe.

empty spaces

what is it like to sink into the silent seams of empty spaces  to close your eyes and let your heart roll away from under your tongue as if it never occured to you nothing would ever fit the same again like all we have lost is wonder

Unburdening

Too many things lie between us, quivering, quaking in darkness like silence, or a laugh being shoved back down your throat. I press my cheek against the top of your head, your hair burning with the fidgeting fingers of the sun, listening to words that have no shape, or sound, or feel, just words that sit like fat potatoes between me and you, words that build up like gum under school desks and surround you. Tendrils, thin wispy letters, dig their way through your skin, overgrown bean plants. Everytime I try to pull one down, they rip at your skin and you cry out. Your silence floats like a feather, suspended below my mouth; when I speak it flutters with the fluctuations of my voice. Too many things hold us at a distance, two lone figures across each other, toes at the edge of a seemingly uncrossable gap. I heave stones into the darkness, my hand tight around yours, placing trust and love and faith and understanding like stepst...
