A Wren’s Plight

Posted on May 31, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Pick me up broken wings

And make me fly

Away from the ground

If these wings can’t fly

Then I stay here on the dirt

Where the danger lurks

So take me away

Wings

Heal Me

Posted on May 31, 2020 by acupofsongwriting

Heal me

Sweet western winds

With your hands

Mighty

On the sky

And the mountains

Heal me

With wonderous powers

Of hope

And health

Prepare me for the future

All The Day

Posted on May 30, 2020 by acupofsongwriting

All the day long

Waiting for my favorite song

Small mysteries

Even seem joyful

At a slow summer pace

Preparing the way

For what’s to come

Blundered Words

These blundered words

Have no further meaning

Beyond the stated

Amount

Given here

My Incandescent Observation

Posted on May 28, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Incandescent observation

Is not as luminous

As I had hoped

Or illustrated

That somehow

We rise together

And fall apart

We all can play a part

In this

Path forward

Escapism

Posted on May 28, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Escapism

The act of escaping

Repeatedly

For health

And safety

Away from monotony

Of slow progress

Made

Away

For another day

Macabre Dance

Posted on May 27, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Never knew the divisions

That grew

So quickly

Between me and you

Repeated visions

Of separation

A stunning sensation

As we take our macabre dance

Entranced

In this moment

For now

Until the final note

The last vowel

The Only Truth

Posted on May 27, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

I wish

There was an only truth

Not many versions

Of interpretation

That leaves us with nothing more

Than a divided nation

Just some wanton hope

I guess

Have We Enough

Posted on May 26, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Have we enough

Of the darkness

That lingers

A little too long

Can we politely

Move on

To a better version

Of ourselves

Upward Onward

Upward

Onward

A way to hope

We can make a better

Future

Than the one we know
