i figured my big little brother jay would eventually take on some of my little idiosyncrasies, but who knew that he would take up on some poetry? i have no clue as to when he wrote this, but i was amazed. it was a very good step into being a more well-expressed person, and only he knows the real meaning behind these works that he writes. in any case, he's the guest on the ink beat tonight, and later on i'll showcase some more of his works.

The Rock

There it stands,
the rock the peak.
Audacious toward fire
and wind yet seeks
for beings to grace its presence.

Clouds and haze cover eyes of men.
The rock, like the sky
is left for poets to mend.


THE ONE

the breeze is moist yet crisp
with the scent of sage
the pine and oak trees inundate the land
however, one i unlike the rest.
its leaves display a green
neither seen nor imagined.
scintillating, they flutter
in the morning breeze.
the trees that envelop
this magnificent yet petite one
stand enlightened,
taller than most,
absorbing its radiant glory

i have found this tree
how do i leave it?
how do take my eyes away from its beauty
how do i escape?

i don't
i won't
i will let it overwhelm me
