Stars

Her eyes, 

they shine ever so brightly. 

I look up to realize,

I'm staring at the sky.

I think I miss her a little. 

Beyond; within

I'm standing outside
Outside my mind.
Looking in, looking out.
Looking through.

I'm standing outside,
Outside my faith.
Looking up, looking down.
Looking somewhere, around.
Only to find nothing to see.

I'm standing outside,
Outside my thoughts. 
Beyond what I feel.

I'm standing outside,
Outside my self. 
Only to find nothing to be.

The Tree Outside

There is a tree outside my house.

They cut it when it grows.

I guess that's what human nature is,

it destroys what it sows.

There is a tree outside my house.

They cut it when it grows.

It's the human condition, they say.

it destroys what can grow.

There was a tree outside my house.

It fell the other day.

Its roots collapsed, it was hollow inside.

It was a human being, they say.
