We can’t always have
What we want
But it is vital
To stay steadfast
In what is the keys
To this life
To love
Friendship and
Staying at peace
I hope to learn these
Lessons
In time
With ease
Filthy

Concerned
Are we concerned
For each other
Or do we just want
Something from
One another
Are we seeking to help
Or seeking to hate
What is the direction
That we will take
Not in our words
But in our actions
Today
Abandoned
The seeds
Of the tree
Grew strong
With hope and optimism
Sunlight and water
Showered the seedling to life
As the tree grew
So the world changed
And no longer needed a tree
It needed a table
So the tree in
It’s most innocent hour
Surrendered to the knife of the
Searcher
Capital seeker
And with the tree down
A family will gather around
A forgotten piece of life
Yet in this grey space of confusion
Is where I am lost for words
For the way of life can be short and fast
Or not
So to learn what we can
While we can
Is what we can
Do
Butter Rabbits
Dancing lightly over the
Fall
Of flowers and trees
Is the butter rabbits
In drinks and
Other things
Such as loafs of bread
Being carried home in a hurry
The dense sensation
Of sweetened desserts
On the minds of those
Who carry them to
Habitual Stereotype
Is it helpful
The book that you clutch
With every name and type
Already generated bust
So that you know
Exactly what to think
In a habitual stereotype
That locks you into a world
That I both don’t know
And can’t understand
Zephyr
I walked the shores
Where my feet fell
Just under the crunch of the
Sand
Stones and mixed
Soil
The water lapped the edge
Of the lake
As I felt the zephyr on my face
I remembered a better time
A time not too long ago
But long enough
To feel it could be letting go
So I breathed in that zephyr
And live to see another
Day
Bliss
Can we rejoice
For another day
Or is that reserved for those
Who have to have it their way
Upon the light of the sun
Over the land that is desperate for
The life force
We retreat in bliss
For yet the world
Can go on
Another day
Retirement
The moment has come
For the retirement
Of the goods and services
That never were provided
To live a hollow life
Guided by lights
Camera
Action
So rather than fight it
Decide it
Might be better to move
On
Then lay in the wake
Of the changing
Waters
Workshop
As trendy as the
day that
we arrive
To workshop
for the new
Future
Clothes
The defining feature
Of choice
Clothes
Draped over the shoulder
As we walk
We have chosen the clothes
We wear as a
Statement
Some true
Some confusing
But either way
A way of expressing me
To you
