Amidst

Standing in the midst of the crowd
Feet touch the sidewalk 
Hustle and bustle - loud
Is my voice heard when I talk?

Order out of chaos
Oxygen - constant breathing 
All in search of something lost
Great Pendulum - ever swinging

Eyes meander; thoughts pass over
Like feathers in a dance
Some brush over my shoulder
By some random chance

Oblivious, Unaware
Ghosts; Zombies; Machines
Nothingness in their stare
Never tasting Being

Who can even see
Who do not see themselves?
Do I have to bleed
For my words to hit their shelves?

Shade

When a child sees me They see a reflection of themselves Parents witness familiar interactions "Come on! Let's go home" They draw the child away Proffering up red herrings & empty distractions Evil. Wretched. Get away! Children grow and soon forget And, I sink again into sweet oblivion I am the lock & key Finger against pursed lips Frequency beneath the pendulum The people blame me for their crimes Though they forget my face Yet, I take it all just the same My eyes are older than the trees My voice more silent than a breeze My essence unbounded by a name Oh sweet oblivion What few mortals  Dare ride out beyond the sea? On the shores they stay Far far away And never really search for me But, here am I Here I'll be Speaking through the Poet's page I am beyond Time Just to be seen by the seeker Is my only desirable wage
