October always whittles me into the boats of my intentions setting a course into undelivered consciousness Sign in to see full entry.

The World’s too big for me, I should live in my shoe Or be a turtle Carrying my house upon my back I would expect my intentions If I could recall who I am— A rock amongst rocks Or this shell that I am Moving thru Time as if there were Ages I loved once Before I forgot how to be But it happened...

What is Truth? And why does it already have a name? Must I always begin before I got here or did I just miss something I saw was there? Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, what should I do today? Sing a song, tap my feet while I start dancing down the Yellow Brick Road Like I’m Singing In The Rain? Don’t get me wrong I love my renditions I just got my reasons Not to expect myself Where I’m going It takes time to find where you are And how to relate to it Presuming... Sign in to see full entry.

THE IDEA OF A POEM AND THE DYNAMIC OF INNER SPEAK
