Another day, another dollar

As you come nearer

I go farther

But either way

I won't forget to say
that I love you everyday

You are everywhere I am

and I am everywhere you are

Fly now

   they urgently

        wait quietly

For you to come and sing

As the hummingbird

  beateth its wings

My darling sails

  from sea to sea

A lullaby

  made patiently

               

Dear tawny moth I'm trying to save

lift yourself to my palm

Come now, be brave

I'd rather not touch your wings

as their color comes off on me

I'll catch you then
I'll set you free

So you can die peacefully

in a world of midnight blue and green

not in the harsh light
of my room here at my feet

summer salvage

You who so quickly
sound the bells
of ever-forever-after

Lay waste the open archway
through which may stroll another.

Too quickly passes
the summer breeze
of freedom's bliss blown dry.

You scoop me up to save me
while others stand idly by.

Perhaps they knew I was just swimming,
holding my breath to take in the scenes
of rainbow fishes dancing

between the rocky seams.
Still maybe it's not drowning
that inspired your brave attempt.

Could it be
perhaps truly
what you see is what you get?
