In the midst of the crowd

Let the “news”
be none of your concern;
turn away and
make your own.

You have all you need,
an abundance of wealth
resides within you,
so choose your own will.

Don’t be tempted,
for the fool gratifies himself;
delay what you want,
appreciate what you have.

Focus on the Idea,
and craft your wood;
let it take shape,
and project your dreams.

Find love in what matters most
and dive in;
master it,
and grow beyond.

What matters,
you cannot see;
what you can hear,
you can ignore.

Be inquisitive,
live in solitude
in the midst of the crowd,
and live out the answers.

You and me

You and me,
here with no one else;
together,
with nowhere else to be;
nothing to see,
other than each other’s eyes;
nothing to feel,
other than our warm embrace;
nothing to do,
but press our lips together
and be
who we used to be.
