tough times

an anvil planted in the mind

weighs heavy on the thoughts

stressful in breath

sadness behind condition

rice fields of banaue

boundaries appearing limitless

across this valley of sustenance

delivering zen

feeding the villages

with natures collective bounty

peaceful in tone

waves slowly whispering

in dusk light

speaks in its gentle voice

swaying the tides

meandering through the night

as fish swim

peaceful in tone

happy meal

stripe shirt greasy tie

burger face french fry thighs.......sigh

happy belly lies

other views

hiding behind my shame

my expression irrelevant

looking through the shield

my perspective crass

in a world of distortion

i watch episodes

scenes and situations

fiction to non

this eccentric life

my day

confidence i

happy world view see

glorious day

this day be for me

duality

an empty site of beauty

population down

a tale of two habitats

bravely listening to the sounds
