hot tea is like a remedy for the soul,
it moves through me like the tennessee trees in a storm
willingly, i let the wind encompass me
this is as young as i will ever be
i'm finding that there's therapy in poetry,
there are beautiful things that no one's even noticing
every line--so perfectly designed,
to warm the marrow in our bones
i will follow you into the moonlight,
and i'll exchange your thoughts with mine
as the beauty of the night unfolds,
we embrace the ocean before we go
and fall asleep in our evening-stained clothes
i do believe i am changing as a whole,
i'm an entirely different human than before
actually, i'm happy that it's happening
this is as young as i will ever be
it seems as if you were born inside a melody,
i keep humming along as it's echoing inside of me
if i could quote every single note,
it is my skull that would be at peace
we are so damn young and captivated by the sun,
so well reminded of the wars that we have won
we have such weak lungs, there's no doubt we'll be outrun,
so let's remain wonderful until that day comes

For When You Wake Up

i spent a year writing letters, to everyone that i knew
praying for just one single reply, hoping that it might be you
those days are distant in memory-- i threw my ink in the trash
i ain't gonna write a single word, so you won't ever write back
these days, they're spent at the harbor- reading to all of the trees
watch as some boats drop their anchors, and others sail out to sea
some say i need a savior, some say i need to sleep
they told me life ain't no daydream, i wish they'd just leave me be
i've lived my life through a painting, the artist must have no idea
why else would he leave it unfinished? the canvas is my greatest fear
now get me a map and a compass, find my way back real soon
desperate to find some shelter-- not enough, though to go back to you
this week has been such a whirlwind, i thought that it could never end
despite having such heavy boots, my feet have yet to grace the land
some say i need a savior, some say i need to sleep
they told me life ain't no daydream, i wish they'd just leave me be...

Proof Enough

well, i spent so many years thinking i could never be good enough
for anyone, or anything, or that i was even deserving of love...
the humble tree bears the sweetest fruit. well, sometimes it just burns down
and there's an honest man who tells a lie each day, without so much as a sound
and if you feel afraid, well, i'm sorry.
there can be such better days, are you listening?
i am the most inconsistent human you may ever meet
i could never tie my heart to any set string of beliefs
still, i stare a hole in the atmosphere wondering where i did come from
i'm not certain of very much, but i know there's a god above us
and if you weren't aware, well, i'm sorry.
oh, my god, please forgive me-
it's taken me quite some time to find there are lessons i may never learn
like how to accept an out pour of love or grace that cannot be earned
will i read these words until they breath new life, and all my seeds have been sown?
i don't feel worthy of a sacrifice; they say you gave your only son
and it's proof enough that someone loved me

The Sun Also Rises

if you're still awake, this is for you.
don't hesitate, i'm almost through
the light will break, revealing truth
something the dark could never do
when the needle clicks, and the record ends
and you realize that you're alone again
i'll trace your palms with my pen
until the ink decides to settle beneath my skin
the sun also rises, my friends
you pound away at these keys
harder and harder, with every beat
you're playing the most beautiful things
but the sounds, they are few and far between
my friends all live in different states
but i'll see each and every one, i don't care how long it takes
some say the bad will always outweigh the good
but i been here long enough to know, that it just ain't true
the sun also rises, my friends
