Away with It

Posted on December 27, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Away with it

And bring in the yes

The yes for the future

Of what will happen soon

I pray for a year of yes

Be laid upon

The days ahead

I’ve Done This Once

Posted on December 26, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A year ago

Was no different

In fact

The exact

Same

But even a bit more

Confusing

And off kilter

But with the weather

Withers away

I hope the gray

Turns to blue

In the year ahead

Another Go

Posted on December 26, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Another go

Is the way it went

Over the evening

Spent alone

That night

So tonight I

Try again

See a future

Of hope

Another Way

As the shore

Laps

The southern dunes

The city emerges

From the dense fog

Then I rwalizr

New paths

Come to us in life

If only we can see

Them

Lazy Fanatics

Posted on December 21, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Lazy fanatics

Wait for the words

Rather than analytics

To make the judgement call

About what to believe

There is but a small hope

That laziness will be rebuked

Someday soon

The lazy fanatics

Will have their debts

Come due

Ocean Love

Posted on December 21, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Beyond the surface layer

There is a depth

That I can only begin

To understand

That water

Unlike land

Floats the mind

To the bottom of the

Ocean

Love is

An ocean

With blue depth

And green hope

Love for you

Wherever I go

Ethereal Possessions

Posted on December 19, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Of this world

Or not

The best gifts

Come from a dimension

Where

Ethereal

Is the main possession

So I celebrate the moment

Of the kindest

Modest

Hope and

Love

Quick and Judicious

Posted on December 19, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Quick and judicious

Was the decision

Incision

Point

From my eye

To my hand

A quick stand

Taken

When confusion

Runs true

Across the land

So take the hope

Of today

Into tomorrow

When a judicious decision

Is strewn in sorrow

A Spurious Library

Posted on December 16, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A whole world

Constructed

From the falsities

At the seems

What seems real

Is less than certain

These times

So enjoy what is

And let it go

Build It Up

Posted on December 16, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

The build up

The hype

What it takes

To make no mistake

Take what I can

Head on

Into the uncertain

Future

Now
