Houla

Blueprints, schematics
Aluminum, screws
Pins, and lights
Bands, and gears
One button,
Labeled restart,
Taken together,
All of his parts
Save one, 

Stoutly standing,
Deeply breathing,
Wings spreading,
“There he goes”,
Your heart says,
“Oh, he’s leaving” 

Push, and look
He walks, liftoff
He marches, takeoff
There he goes, all alone
Off to find his missing heart 

He swam and walked,
Flew, scernery passed
time, tick tocked 
Men dug beneath mountains
Dirty children washed in
Urban water fountains 

Round he flew,

Hunger, madness,
Mourning sadness,
Mockingbird murder,
Shells and shrapnel

No sense, he said
Houla massacre
Made by men?
Led by men,
Flesh and bone
Heart and all
The children died
Saved by none 

He found a land
Where no men walked,
He rested then
He laid down and
Cursed the heart

Men in passions,
Wicked palace,
Fear, anger
Tears, pitter patter
Bitterness
Mirthless laughter 

Hand resting,
Empty chest,
Heartless,
He asked,
“Is naught greater,
Greater than the heart?” 

The wind whispered,
The men have proven
That indeed,
Naught is greater
Than the wicked heart 

Have you ever felt in awe of someone, yet so helpless to them? Tis dangerous territory.

I wish I could make you see how amazing you are.

There’s more to do though, always more.

But this more is tomorrow’s chore.

All I want from life is lots of travel, good experience, good food, and good sex.

I wanna have a water balloon fight

This is fucking brilliant.

Look at Mindie’s face when she sees my package!

This is me enjoying the packing peanuts you sent me. Oh, and there's a phone in here!

We said, “There’s nothing wrong.”
We put our strong face on
And go right through it
Please say, “It can’t be done.”
Cuz that’s just fuel for me
To just prove this
Yeah, you’ll see
Cuz that’s just fuel for me
To just do this
Yeah, you’ll see

We have so much energy that you can’t see
We’ll blow right through it
Please say you can’t help me
Cuz that’s just fuel for me
To just prove this
Yeah, you’ll see
Cuz that’s just fuel for me
To just do this
Yeah, you’ll see

I’m gonna make it through, you’ll see
I swear I’ll prove you wrong
You haven’t seen the last of me
I am way too strong
It’s not impossible, you’ll see
You’ve never been inside my head
Ten billion burning suns and belief in a strength that can raise the dead 

It’s the warmth when you’re next to me
It’s the bright white light of a fevered dream
It’s the storm in your eyes
It’s in the roots of the tree
The underestimated power of the forces of the unseen
