Awakening
back to
real life
we’ve all
been asleep
but dawn
brings a lucid
a picture
of all of us
together
we have made
a tiny
piece of
life here
our
identity
when
a threat
can’t stop
you’re
never
satisfied please
free
me

Has Nothing Changed
when am i
where
it sounds like
alone
i don’t think so
what’s happening
its’ all gone
i used to play here
i think this is…
no, definitely not
so what’s wrong
this is not exactly true
is it?
its time…time
need a little time
nothing to worry about
i wish things
could stay the same
if nothing changed
the important
the beautiful
seasons change
colors bloom
the rain comes
new life
a watering hole
or
metamorphosis
it happens all the time
but i’ve got this
work to finish
first

Slipping
mind your life
not a clue
its our order
strong as it appears
mange it carefully
perennially
or doom
the treasure
to the
attention
of
eternal
time

Dropping Down
dropping down
you’ve been here too
a keepsake
stuck in the
slow lane
while
everyone else
is
speeding up
you get what
you pay for
is it only
going to
make
it
better

Secrets
life theories unable to join never thought I’d hear the deafening silence can you find the silence lend an ear this is not just the beginning pause the show for a minute or two stand behind your brothers wake again to breed the female a slow death of air a baby’s laughter is the greatest price of fear © 2013 J.H.

The Guardian
hear the horizon
sweet honeysuckle wafts
totally silent and
very gladly accepted
guardianship
over the new light
absolutely
just discovered
leave it to watch
or another reason
given to the sky
made in the new
a vow
taken with
a baby’s laughter
hand-painted glass
a wise young teacher
thought
and said
life is so much more
than i needed
