realizations unrealized

i dream, i frown and i wander
a voiceless answer, if i think misery,
and worry about horrible circumstances
i check the weather to see what will be

if i call and there is no return
if i cry and my tears are alone
what can i create to show my hurt
i can mix the colors but there is no depth
no mountain to see the drop

i visulize my thoughts hoping the universe tells me
wrong.
i imagine, based on reality. i take your face,
trace your expressions in my memory
i listen to words stated so casually
revealing the black soul fostering the hardened heart
the desire to win when there is no battle

a blue sky travels fleetingly
indicates this is another time, no marks for wasting
do not play this game, because no one wins

i cannot absorb others
tiny signs reminding me of love
allow for sanity
to realize the nowness

salt

sprinkle some
on

so without
loudness
without voice
suddenly a light
shouted from the sky
and the crack made me jump

raindrops with noise
not hitting the roof

so i picked up some
lipstick
to make a point
a vain way to say
i have voice with
color

and the music
drives a voice
i have yet to explore
but know
exists

so sprinkle on the
salt
give flavor
while the
world
is
standing
by
