Expensive Harbor

Expensive Harbor

Blows down the sand

Of time

Brushes the houses

With light

Water

To see the removal

Exposed

The extent

Of which life

Can just be

Washed away

Deeply Agree

Posted on December 31, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

What was it you said

Inner peace

Comes through the motion of

Letting go

On a night

When all else

Seems over

Tonight

I can see the path

To deeply agreeing

On what makes us

Human

Tethered

Tethered soul

Goes

Where the wind blows

Knows

No freedom

Only where to go

When to go

And how to go

So I am untethered

From the life that is not

My own

Adult

From the growth of ages

Comes the word

Of what comes next

In times of growth

Realized

The adult life

Is upon my eyes

Christmas Time

Posted on December 25, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

Christmas

Is only a day

But a full day of love

And hope

So for that

Take it for what it is

A chance

To say

I love you

Helping Time

Posted on December 25, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

There comes a time

To pull back

On language

And fat opinions

And actually help others

Make the world

Today

Make it up in bright colors

From grey

So helping time

Comes now

Beauty of the Day

Posted on December 24, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A beautiful dress

On a beautiful woman

Make the light of the moment

Glow

As a candle in a darkness

So I hold hope for beauty

In a strange world

That I don’t understand

But today

Maybe

I can

Blessings

Blessings

In the form of life

On a day

When blessings

Are in the sky

In my own life

In my own mind

Bless the world with

Life today

Delicate

Delicate words

Placed on the morning light

Gives me hope

Into the night

Of jewels on the coast

Making the most

Of the life

I am given

Forgiveness

Posted on December 21, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It’s a concept

Not a practice

Of letting go

Of the old

To make a new

New Year

Christmas Eve

So today

Forgive the anger

That destroys

And start with a new light

Into the year ahead
