lookin' for the flow - another 3-minute poem

so many people these days
lookin' for the flow
the way to go
the note that takes them
across the globe
but what are they really looking for?
some quote
or poet
or rhyme that supposed
to show it
show them the future from the past
in front of them through crystal glass
technology built to bring them back
remember the times when typing was wack
writing was in
and filling the communication gap
but they try their best to find something
someone else's writings
and teachings
to guide them on to higher sightseeing
farther travelling
better life dreams
but where they really need to look
is inside
the book to be written
lies in front of their eyes
but instead they disguise
their lies
diminish their size
while upgrading their status
the best of G5 flies
when will people look back
but not to reminisce
maybe looking for something
they shouldn't worry to miss
because it hasn't been written
that's the truth from the past
shows a reflection to the present
looking back through the glass
and realizing that
their possibilities
are inside,
within,
not a past man's cries
or sighs
but a new man's dreams
a new woman's vision
today's flow
today's rhythm

love.life.

sea

you look out upon the world
eyes bleary from the waves
crashing down in front of you
soft flowing curls lapping at your toes
tired from the day's content
from the obstacles you overcame
expressing joy from all you found
the secrets lying underground
underwater and over air
breathing deep the ocean air
looking out at the sky
horizon bright
seagulls fly
wishing you were nowhere else
but here with her
casting aside tools of war
battling across the ocean floor
waves of waves, armies many
brilliant blue but cautious white
leaning in and sweeping away
tempting you to another day
knees buckle
your breath rushes away
thinking of her
thinking of the moments just past
when your eyes were blurry
from the sea air
or from the water's weight
upon your heart


love.life
