23 What are You Doing Here? Will Tiensvold What are you doing here? Right now, at this moment, How did you get here? Was it curiosity? Were you looking to make a change? Well, I can’t guarantee anything, Yet here you are, Happened upon these little chunks of my mind... Perhaps by getting to know these lines You’ll be a little more ready for tomorrow. That’s all I can ask for: That perhaps you’ll change just because you stumbled upon some urge, some chance to give a chump like me. You’d be surprised how little I know; And yet here you are, looking at me, My pathways laid as clearly as I can. Funny how some scribbles I put down somewhere else, A different day, a different place, A different life, can yield something so moving. Or unmoving, that’s for you to decide. Am I worth these seconds, these minutes? Perhaps that’s what I’m trying to prove: I have nothing to prove. My work is done, The rest comes from you. Sing Me Back to Sleep Anonymous Today is darkening I want to stay in bed In the deep silence Of your breathing Keeping the lights out And pretending That I am dead Eagerly depressed and Calling your name But only deep inside My empty mind Music will heal my heart Music will heal my dying heart
