Built to last
The difficult
Past
Future unknown
But what is sure
Is that survival
Will be made
Through the thinnest
Path
Forward
Built

Confused
More confused today
Than yesterday
Wait until the light
Is gone
And the room is dark
Then real confusion
Sets in
The time and place
When all is unknown
And every difficulty
Must be faced
Today
In lower Manhattan
Where the wind blows
Over the concrete of
Filled spaces
The mind can wonder of a world
Far away
But right in the city
Where the light shines
Bright
Vast
The vast nature
Of the world
Seems to override
My own ability
To understand
What is happening
Across the land
From ocean to ocean
The wide expanse
Is contracting
Into one confusing
Mess
Melt
The melt
On a 100 degree day
In Northern Michigan
In the fall
Unlike any other
Before
The heat bears
Witness to the
Feelings we have
That life is not quite
Normal
These days
Vignette
It was a small showing
If anything at all
It was easy going
For what I like to call
A distraction of faith
Is on the hands
Of those
Whose
Decisions were
Made
That’s It
That’s it
The grand finale
Until the next
Dud
Sets us all up
For another missed
Shot of hope
In the arm
That has already
Fallen asleep
Seafarer
Upon the sea
A life lived
Over the water
Of a world
Made up of the
Liquid of life
To be a soul at large
Is to be a large soul
On the oceans of life
To make a life
In a ship
Over the waters
September Sun
September sun
Brings out the heat
In the early parts
Of autumn
So thick
You can see the humid
Air
Linger over the fields
Ready for the change
Of season
The hope of summer
Fading quickly
As the fall is now
Upon us
Perpetual Plastics
What we use
And what we throw away
Piles up in the oceans
Out of sight
Of our hands and minds
But trash does not
Go away
Living well beyond the life
It had on the shelf
So be thoughtful of life
As we make our way
Through the web
Of air and water
Right here on earth
