Pick it up

By Juli

when to pick it up again
when to let it go
maybe it's no longer there
and so we'll never know

if we spread the world apart
and look for it in vain
can we close the gap we made
and have it be the same

or is it different, better
because we peered inside
changed by what we dared to dream
instead of what we hide

Meditation free throws

By Juli

Meditation free throws
Generation eyes closed
If they say it's better sign us on.

Puppet master eye smirk
Watch it fail and say it works
Why must we follow blindly either side?

I'm tired of playing team games
Marching always feels the same
Until you hit a wall of find a cliff.

Roll sleeves, worker bees
Fertilize your thinking trees
Truth is what you feel, not what you're told.
