Human

Eddies Along The Tide

i am reminded of what i know
that living, breathing human beings
are but passing glances in a crowd

we are some of us but onlookers
those eddies along the tide

at times we are in the middle
funneled down in the churning mass

at times we break free in a quest
for our soul’s solace, peaceful rest

i am reminded of what i know
that living, breathing human beings
are but passing glances in a crowd

music soothes me wrapped in its’ notes
talking to my restless muse in repose

night is filled as an ebony blackboard
only ever broken by the swift tide

i listen as the current takes them
much as rapids toward the waterfall

i am reminded of what i know
that living, breathing human beings
are but passing glances in a crowd

i also know that each life i do touch
will change the life i am living

i will emerge from the whirling funnel
though i may be going against the tide

i will embrace each moment of silence
let it surround me with its’ song

i will cherish each life that touches me
even as they vanish with morning sun

i am reminded of what i know
that living, breathing human beings
are passing glances in a crowd

let my mind run with
imagination down the
page of forgotten dreams

always in anticipation
of dredging up whimsy
in stars that are gazing

down at me wondering
at the human condition
forever pondering if

we really pursued in
selfless abandonment
dreaming of futures

for those that have less
whose hearts never ask
to have not the aching

that their minds might
run with imagination down
a page of forgotten dreams

Intricate orbs of light
penetrating infinitesimal
galaxies illuminating
eternally the human path
