Halfway through my year in Korea, I decide to blog again. I figure I've done enough journal writing. Need some branches. There's people I wanna reach, birds I wanna perch, and cats I wanna trap in my tree. Enjoy!

As the sun peers out over apartment buildings

I’m still finding the words To write, to say with courage, To find some simple rest. I’m still looking for the words To encourage and mean What they confess.

Sunday morning i’m waking up
Can’t even focus on a coffee cup
Don’t even know who’s bed i’m in
Where do i start
Where do i begin

Maybe it’s time to start again

Maybe I’ve been too complicated, shifting through shifting sands, belated

phone calls that eat up my minutes, that tip through the sentence,

that burden the judge laided down, with a face like mine and a profound

beak that distilled truth into a bite sized cure all.

Maybe the time is right, to twist and shout, and fling through the night

and come up at the dawn. To shout at the sky, to walk away from the lies

that have kept me cracked inside. My voice breaks with the sun.

Inside, I feel that I’ve already won.

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?

untitled (written while teaching Robert Frost to Korean children)

The light from the sun

shines on the dock.

Seagulls fly long

stretch the sky’s depths.

Off somewhere, far away,

she sits in silence.

The glint of her eyes, a day

that shines and stays.

Every Other Way / Lyrics

bt:

Is it strained, when I call you

Or do you think, that I might forget

oh your love, is radiating…

The farther away

I go.

Do you count, on me now

And do you wait, up for me all night

I wish I could run, to you when you need me

You know I can’t be far

…..for long

(( for long ))

:: Chorus ::

Heart don’t fail me now

Cause there is no time to waste

Don’t shut me out, we shouldn’t wait another day…

I’ve searched for you, on my hearts high speed chase

Hear me out, may be the only chance to say

Hold me now….

I’ve said it Every Other Way
