The Ship

The ship in the sky

Miles high, and miles wide

She goes so slow I agonize

My many, many, many lives

I cannot jump, I cannot dive

I cannot leap, I would not die

I cannot stop, I've tried and tried

I can't go back or change my mind

We're leaving everything behind

And now I know, I've realized

I'm not her island, crew, or tide

Not whence she came, nor other side

I cannot see my course with eyes

Because I am the ship is why

Fire Rider

Learn to surf

Not just my water

On your fire

Higher, hotter

Pulled in sideways

Dying, dire

With no will, I

Burn and die there

Stay the course

Inspired, skyward

Above the storm, I

Ride and fly there

The Truth

The pursuit of a dude for come-uppance

With a boot in her root for his sustenance

It is tempting to turn and say 'fuck this!'

But I'm sent with intent and instructed:

We relent only if there is justice

When confused, use the truth - it's that love wins

Not a Thing

Who asked you
To trade me
For glory?
Nobody
And not me
Certainly
How could I?
Why would I?
My God, I
Want to fly
Too
