I understand now

I am outside

where you lead me

alone

~

I forgive

you your

backwards words

~

because I still

remember

that we loved you

I am parked

besides

an empty lot

~

the sun and clouds

met at the right time

today

for the people

that are waiting

~

and for a few minutes

the bright colors will

lures me

away

Sometimes I wish

I had just

one knob

I could turn

to silence

~

but I see

a thousand

~

no labels

to read

~

I try

to adjust

with this

my internal

music

and rhythm

~

in vain

sometimes

by luck

I don’t even know

what my shadow

looks like

~

when the sun

sets behind

me

The colorful lights

move you

in silence

away

~

you only feel

the noise

as your thoughts

go

~

follo wing

a wink

from a past

that flew

past you

~

you only

hope

Some differences

in understanding

are ignored

when in need

of the assumed

meaning

If you look

~

at what you perceive

~

from the right angle

and height

~

it will

align

~

but

be sure

to stand still

I see clouds

floating

above the roof

I lie

under

~

they seem so close

and far away

~

I ask myself

staring upwards

~

do I want to be closer

to those clouds

or the roof

Our energy

seemingly

comes

from the same source

~

the wall

we stand against

~

ignoring

the fusillades

we look

the other way

~

and sometimes

we meet

each other

Sometimes you see

what it is not

~

the emptiness

filled

by a willing mind

This line

that I am holding

is choking me

~

and when the wind

tides

and waves

play their game

~

I realize

that this will

prolongs

this lines

grip

on me
