A babbling brook flows quickly through my mind
For a time, calming
The sound of water rushing by
On and on and on
It seeps into dreams, fills my ears
Starts to wear me thin
It becomes a river
Will I sink or swim?

No Teeth
I feel I’m running circles
Tracking my own steps
Writing of the same old things until there’s nothing left
No fresh ideas, no muses
Like a wolf that lost its teeth
I no longer have the tools to live
Don’t have the tools to eat
Nothing seems to go my way
It’s not for lack of effort
I just end up far astray
All the same wrong turns
I always feel so far behind where I was at first
Relentless Waves, Static Shores
I can’t get past the stress
All the questions in my life
I lay in heavy silence
I find no peace at night
Just the weight of all the choices
Each one set in stone, stark and grey
Ever joyless
I throw myself against them
Breaking like a wave
They wont budge, but I’m relentless
When my will is all but spent
I piece myself together and start it all again
