Someone told me recently that to change the world 
you first need to create change in your family
then once you have done that
you need to change your community
next change your town
and then your state
change your country

light is a tricky thing
you see it in different shades
but it's always there
it's funny how sometimes i worry
but i somehow can't imagine the absense of light
the absence of you
it's like imagining nothingness
impossible

This mask I wear
Firmly in place
Slips side to side 
On the plane of my face
Sometimes a brilliant brown eye
Peeks through
A worn ratty string
The only clue
That maybe I'm human
Behind this guise

she was reflected like a shadow into the shifting sea
her silhouette slipping away like a snake's skin as
her footprints receded until she had been nowhere
but here
here in this fleeting moment of time
that passes in an instant
