"We understand less than we accept. The dirge of the intrusive voice that doesn't love you. I won that war. The triumph passing through the streets of my mental avenues. My grip firmly on the wheel. I see art in my reflection. Watching my eyes focus in real time on the stories written on my face."

"What has passed beneath these trees? My aching words and strident heart. The youth envisions the man he will be in the evening. Autumn splendor changes as he learns a poet's penance. Looking at the sky more than his sharp boots. To dare to rise higher than the dirt at his feet. An open path to be."

"You see the smile flashing warm over you under tired eyes. The hands worn by years of daily work. A set of broad shoulders that carry more than just his frame. There's a hint of bourbon and woodsmoke in the air. Inside is the manly fortitude to endure. To build a home for you to be safe"

"Too many wasted seconds in single room thinking. We make ourselves quiet to try and weather the riot. A treasure awaits a heart that is liberated from the merry go round. Drink of romance, be silly with it, and wear hopeless as an ornament you cherish. Doubt makes a wasteland of smoke."

"You aren't too much. I see someone being themselves in the arena of life. Pushing through trials while stitching their wounds up. Daring to be a good human in a land of false discourse. You're allowed to be the steel that doesn't bend to conventional ideas. Your judgment can be a lantern to follow"

Neo-platonic philosophy synapses with Norse cytons, green man neurons, coded with human decency, and free kindness. Housed in courtesies that are gifted with the rebate.
