The desert knows the simplicity

Of life

Survival in the purest form

Thriving under the heat of the Sonoran sun

Are the cactus that burst from the ground

But delicate life forms

Of creation upon the sands

The heat can give life and take it away

Just as quickly

So take the heat with high regard

And respect

We must hold the hope of time

And reflect

The waters taught

Me

To fear the waves

Death at a young age

Great open expanse

Cascade

The waters taught

Solidarity

Similarity

To the fields of open grain

The waters taught me

To feel the pain of loss

To remember those we love

To look back with ease upon a life

We can’t have back

The water taught me

To see the future with a bight hope

Not all days are cloudy

So I take it upon myself

To learn everyday from what the

Waters have taught me

From the depths of the oceans

Blooms the deserts

Winds so dry and true

Examine the dusty paths of yesterday

In a hope to find a new connection to the land

The desert times roll over the evening and light

Taking the days into the summer of heat

Into the nights of cold winter air

Trod the path taken

And learn the ways of simple life

Taken one day at a time

And learning from the land

With my hand upon the chimes of time

I wait to see what the next day will bring

The sailer sees the see

With eyes eager to understand

Command the waters

Of the distant shores

To be a way of life

And nothing more

Away from the world that sinks us

From the high hopes of childhood

I discover the hope of the sailor

The perseverance

Of which I do not understand

The life or the man

But I can see a memory of this life at large

As a romantic painting on the wall

Of the gallery I have never been

To see a life lived

Setting sail

Again and again

From the depths of confusion

A reality that is not worth choosing

A light in the fog

Of night

Creates the hope of

A return to what is real

What is true

A light in the distance reminds me

Of you

To make a dash and push the waters

To go forth and go farther

We all need a light in the night

To know where we are

And not return to where we have

Been

The waves crash along the vessel

But even though we are tested

And with reality we wrestle

I can see a way forward

Together

We find the truth along the show

Of what is real and what is true

Take me to the sea

The giver of life

To you and me

The nautical blues fade

Into the mist of the sky fallen

Into the oceans

Where the world is somehow small and near

Away from the grinding thistle of life

Upon the lies of the elite

Bear down on us

But life is only made through water

And water alone

Take me to the sea

Where I can return

To being my own

Tax and toll the masses

Into submission again

And again

Don’t ask questions

Just smother them

With the burden of life once so pure

Now polluted with the ideas

Of the singular devotion chosen fools

So take your money one penny at a time

What will wither away

Will grow back one hundred fold

In time

Uptown people

Spending time with the downtown folks

Stringing words on notes

Being one of the greatest

Impact on the human interaction

Tough in traction

But the people have each other at heart

Hardly hated by the wars orchestrated by

Those few who benefit greatly

Stately types

Embedded and look a likes

The chose people the chose choice

Of a wickedness so deep

Only one can begin to understand

That people are the ones whos hearts

Will win

Together

Together
