Tree

Posted on May 6, 2026 by jaybeasley2

I am a tree today

my thirst is boundless

I ache and sway

my sounds of creaking

limbs get loud in the winter

and I have few visitors

I do now grow like I used to

the colder it is

the more it is weighing

so very heavy on me

in warm months I wake up

but I do not spring up as lively as I used to

and only 3 friends

visit the shade of my

growing new path anymore

many new sounds as I dance

from breeze to breeze and

my parts have become so

used to the passage of time

I sometimes do not flinch

my heart has a break in it

but it allows me to seek

better movement in natural ways

my roots are strong here and

I look up to the light every day

I am a tree today

softening the temperature

among the good times and

if your ways don’t change anymore

none of our fine old days make a

tiny effect in the corridor of

all of the surprises and stupid things said

more of the happy timing that transforms

under the keeping safe testaments

energies that crank on down when

reaching on the way we went overboard

temperatures mattered so much

ending the unforgettable day

when hot was cold and cold was hot

please just please

pass the knife over with your words, honey

leave me to my time

eventually you will tire of this

always dedicated love

should I ask for anything

easy as climbing a mountain of me

jumping the gun of self insults

used these excuses to keep quiet

sitting alone

today you won’t see me

perhaps tomorrow you won’t either

leave you to your relaxing

effort of mine is history now

after all, it wasn’t important

setting suns are quicker than us

empathy is not your strength

mine is sounding like a bitter cynic

every single day I just love you more

am I doing the right thing

and am I alive

After all I came so far to be here

but when did I feel this way last yet

where am i even living now

I am not liking the weather change but

another color in the sky will

help me be less depending on

the calm of the flow so

the wake is happening yet

I see the lake rising up

and the clouds are not too dark

and we came here from afar

so let’s get into

the cusp of another brave

morning before the worn-down tiredness

makes our belief

have a moon light dance

again

Re-met

Posted on April 3, 2026 by jaybeasley2

I never thought that

I would meditate again

until I met you

my moonbeam

I never thought

that I would dance again

until I met you

my weeping willow pine tree

the revelations and games needled in

a dream

a scene

a raised voice in a quiet bar

all of these were helping me last night

to the tune of a weird chime

and there is a sliver of light that

falls delicately across the floor

whispering to the endurance of

a very particular thought which does

keep its own company after the

demon of sleeplessness releases its grasp

fortune has drawn a circle around me

made up of the ground up bones of

past mistakes and painfull memories

but I have defeated that monster

through focusing energies and power of will

yet the relaxation that comes before

rest will only arrive once I have

your amazing sighs

by my side

and a peach chamomile hot toddy

to pride inside

I never thought that

I would meditate again

until I met you

my moonbeam

I never thought that

I would dance again

until I met you

my weeping willow pine tree

dead

complete

unknown

unreal

I have not been here

for years now I have no fears

plenty of the gain

you killed me before you knew me

but you so phoney

you cannot harm me

you live in a cocoons shell

you want the earth to die too soon

I met you long ago

and I did not fear you

you wish for delivering shine

no wings will ever be in your back

no singing to that type

no learning matters to you anymore

you are dead to the mind

you are a soup without spicy bits

you are a dead maybe

I know you are pretending and

plastic but here you will succeed

until we see that

you are only mask

no substance but

she and I made more

impact than your entire existence

look outside and see that the change is here, like

oceans taking a stand first what they believe in

completing a shift in society like an

abrupt earthquake in slow motion while the

terrified faxes of those who hold on to

edges of the past and long expired conforming eras,

dying as if the evolution will never occur yet

evidence of the advancement is massive and abundant,

showing up at the door of ignorant history

in effort after effort until the walls come down,

revolutions always start like a small gathering storm

eventually right outside the window,

setting things in the future’s road

hunt

Posted on March 27, 2026 by jaybeasley2

the darkness woke up

slowly

a candle that resisted

coming up into the light

another passage of time

that seems to speed up

as it slows down

and scary as the

details all stick out

tiny steps

somehow arrive in an instant

a wall rushing at you

with the pace of a second hand

on a clock

not a word

is going to get uttered

as long as

we get this trouble understood

most animals

don’t want to be our meal

and the mouse doesn’t

enjoy the cat and mouse game

the toy that is destroyed

cold sunrise

Posted on March 23, 2026 by jaybeasley2

as the sun comes up

and the cloud cover rolls in

I look at my arms

and see all the scars that

were not there before and

I think about if I may

survive until my

next birthday but I

wonder where you put

the silver elephant I gave you and

I wonder if I can even

make it through this week yet

here I am

Saint Patrick not by my side

Pain in every part of my body

no water to drink

no shoes on my feet

but if the red moon rises and

I can still use my mind

then I can make it

I have seen worse times

and I can keep you

in my mind

then I am happy

cage return

Posted on March 20, 2026 by jaybeasley2

there are ways to

see the world

where you do not

come near me

and I do not hug you

when you ask me to

preparation of

the hand to

be in your hand

and when I stare

I realize

when I get home

there is no other animal there

no female lamp to curl up on

no bit of fuzzy sigh

to call to

I will just have to

crawl up on my own blanket

put my head down

abd nuzzle up under a warm

and purr at myself

until you come home

because I can’t

stand life

without you
