Following the horizon

i can't look over the horizon 

but i know something is waiting 

in the orange and red 

that follows 

the setting sun 

something is there for me 


 

i knew someone 

who once wanted to swim across the ocean 

cause he thought he could find

who he was meant to be 


 

every time i pass by 

a part of me believes 

that somewhere 

deep 

          deep

                     deep

within 

            me 

and 

            you 

there is something 

waiting 

             to 

be 

     let free

    when all we have is spent–

    what will we have left?



    people once before us–

  • down the street

    i walked down the street
    the streets i once used to know 
    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
