most 01:48
All the praise is due To the most high: you. Always is your golden moment. I feel your love And I feel your warmth. You are everywhere.

The least that you can do is make the most of you. Walk right into the sun And open up.

Why would it tell a lie? It wouldn't tell a lie to keep my spirit high. I've always had to try To push myself toward more than my Optimum heart and my forward soul. But the condition declines and deprives the whole Vim and vigor from the life that I led. These beautiful, circling dreams in my head Keep providing me with faint glints of relief. This sickness will never deter my belief: How can't I think of the most that can be While I am crippled by such stagnancy? Debilitation's constraints are numbing me, But I'm still hoping for hypertrophy. The constant smile obscures the rift but it appreciates the gift. I will never let my dreams go adrift Because the future can only uplift. Into the trench, the body descends Slowly, through time and its remaining sands Now only my courage is buoying me With affirmations and positivity. Every stroke and every breath is overflowing. But could it tell a lie? It wouldn't tell a lie To keep itself alive It didn't have to try. Sells itself on nothing more than time, Sells itself to simply be the lie of everything alive, Everything you'd ever want to buy, Little things you never thought you'd try. More than anything you maybe want to find What keeps the dream alive. I never thought I'd see so little in my life. The little dream I have of waking up to sleep: Nothing I could see could make me want to weep More than menacing premises circling Collective dreams of love.

untitled 01:14
My hands are thick with lines of constant wear, Not from what I’ve done, but what I’ve yet to do. Use these long fingers to strike against the air; They seldom sleep, for they have much to prove – When first I fell in love with life this rare, To work with those whose thoughts of life have died, To drain the power of the deepest seas – To use the force that makes the earth to move.

real steps 02:55
Cold earth vibrates your wood. Our shivering spines fashioned a song In tune with you; and Celebrated a fullness. We were not coy. We feel your void. There's something left. Real steps What's next, When nothing resists? Real steps. Still there, When stillness persists Real steps. Constance, Abundant abyss. Real steps. Resist, When nothing is next Real steps.

gift 03:25
Here's to you, Whose gifting Lifted me Up and up.
