One Folly

Feeling alright

With a bottle of whiskey

And some cheap pizza

Walking around

Quickly

Walking a curved line

To the rooms

Late into the night

Laughter and jolly

As the night goes on

One mistake

One folly

Back Night

Back night

Feeling good

Late night Italian stands

Listening to some

Standards

Stranded in the back

Late night in the rooms

Red and white

Subtle and sweet

Reset Desert

A fresh reset

The desert has a way

Of clearing the mind

Out past the plains

And short of the coasts

There is a place

Where the air

Is clear

Fresh takes

On a new day

Palm trees along the streets

Down in the desert town

Fleeing Green

The vines wrap

Over the edges

Fleeing

Green

Making a way

From

The start to finish

I can relate

With that fleeting hope

Slowly crawling

Maybe to better

Maybe to worse

But ahead

Non the less

Nothing Goes Unnoticed

Hard work

Commitment

Fulfillment of obligations

Laid out straight

While the days fade away

No note rehearsed

Doesn’t resound

In some place

Some moment

Even when hope itself

Seems dim

The most ardent

Dedication

Will win
