How harsh their games
they play with idenity
trust and stress
like some play chess.
And how easily I'm caught
and begin to examine
my moves and defenses
and guard my thoughts.

Its so hard to know
as I push love away
so many wait to hold her.
My pain and my jealousy
walk hand in hand
behind damp eyes.
And I think
she'll be a treasure
to someone who needs her.
And I'll remember it a thousand times
when I'm needing her
and she's gone.
And then I'll wait alone
for my need to pass
praying for my will to last.

The Big Apple
I am evolution come to consciousness
with just enough awareness to see my purpose, sometimes,
though all that I am and how I came to be
is still far beyond me.
We've only so recently seen evolution's pattern
emerge from the darkness of our ignorance
that the very breadth and span of it
causes us yet to doubt it.
To doubt that evolution has truly
been given over to the evolved.
But, the very consequences of our ignorance
now bears down on us, and in direct proportion,
to that knowledge, for which we're responsable,
simply by knowing it.
