How to know the truth
From behind the curtain
The mask laid bare
The mourning of the confusion
Subtle lies
To make the world
Lay down
So take the lead
From the world
At large
We are twisted in the world
Made in the darkness of night
The world mourns a fallen tulip
On the road of progress
To take up the moment
But rather to fall back
The road of mud
To the world below
The fallen tulip
Sheds light on a world fractured
And broken
So I await the news
Of the fall to come
No worries
Life is just passing by
As the train
Pulls out of the station
Into a mind dead nation
You’ll be fine
Everything alright
So don’t get up from the couch
Fear of the fight
Down the river we’ll float
Where the damn will hold us up
I hope
For the darkness grows in weakness
In the lack of light and air
The wickedness grows like roots
In a tale twisted in fate
The fire of truth being extinguished
But not fearing
For the light will return
And the truth will win
On a day that no one
Expects
What is that in the distance
Cool but even
In a world destroyed in the aftermath of
Desperation and manipulation
The tables of time have turned
Upon their heads
The salve of the hour
Has arrived
As the searing truth
Has yielded to the seeing
A blinding light
And to those who are aware
And look away
They shall rejoice
In the light of day
That has come from the truth
For only the truth
Can set us free
The blinding light of searing truth
Turn the righteous away blind
Those meek souls who are protected
Rejoice in the truth
For the light has set them free
Unto the evening
Of reds and purple
Skies of the desert
On fire with evening light
Descending
The longer the shadow cast
Brings in the evening air
Cool and crisp as the
Desert night
Cold upon the relinquished light
Take me to the desert near the
Camelback trail
The world at large
Could only bring this beauty
Upon my eyes to see
The light of the desert morning
Crisp in it’s falls ease
Upon the praying monk rock
Where the eye sees
Over the edge of Camelback and through
The evening red
The patient await
Tomorrow’s other fate
Upon the rock of consistency
There is a line of our hearts
Direct to the sky
Upon this line
We must hold hope
Of another desert night
From the soil and humid hot summers
To the depths of a winter cold
Bursting through the spring mood
Into the fields of color of fall
Making the light orange as it falls
Over the earth
Quietly turning
Bringing the change of
See the world
As it moves
And brings life and change
To our lives
In the light of the season
Orange in it’s hues
To the nights
And the chills
Evening through
Take the breathe of light
Into the depth of the lungs of past summers
To take in the night
Crisp as all
So here are words homaged
To the days of fall
To the ground they fall
With the winds of change
Season of fall
Upon the ground they
Bend away
Into the dirt
There they stay
To come back
In the feeding of the trees
So the renewal season
Is now upon us
