Lullaby No. 33 – Shining

Full moon kiss the air
In love are moments
Like shining stars
And we draw bright lines
Between them
Give form to the essence
That flights us like blue nights
We hold in our skin
The present an afterlife
Of what brought us here
All we’ve created
And destroyed
To be all that we are
And all that we are
Capable of becoming
Holds us by the soul
Shines us


Jason Greendyk

Lullaby No. 32 – White Veins

The heavy glare of the evening sun
Laid bare the acid wash
Of your black denim
The rips and tears
Of fallen dances
Absent the grace of the feminine deity
Who lit your soul one night in the long
Lahoda jahoda
Now it was a clear day’s moonrise
All who watched you move
Saw a dancer
Step by step
Caressing the asphalt
With thoughts that filled the air
Like a cliché
The modern artist
Has abandoned the original thought
For redefinition
But all who watched you dance
Saw an optimist
Through the voice of Reason redefined
A new authenticity to par


Jason Greendyk

Lullaby No. 31 – Embedded in the Memories of Dreams

Lighting the shreds of time
Torn from the internal chaos
Of your fatherhood
To shine bright into that
Which would deconstruct and consume you
Light its soul and dance
The abyss your center of balance
Throwing you from wall to wall
Bounce back into the bleach white air
Your now vagrant passions
Homeless in the sweep of new life
Your hooks carving marks on the walls
To climb to climb
And clear like paper trash in the wind
What’s left behind
Blue sky in the sweep of slumber
Dreaming vivid memories
Of another consciousness
Foreign
Enticing
And waking to a past life
Embedded in your aging soul


Jason Greendyk
