Until the moment
That we realize
That we don’t have
What we want
We float
Taking anything
We can get
Not to see
What was
Capable to be
Until the moment
That we realize
That we don’t have
What we want
We float
Taking anything
We can get
Not to see
What was
Capable to be
Let’s run
Into 2024
With a new life
From the start
Of a new moment
From the smoke
A drink
A new life
Of a party
Brought from the neighborhoods
Of Chicago
Finishing words
Said on a long night
From the hopes of
Tomorrow
From Lake Michigan
We go again
Into a late night
Shots welcome
In the new year
With hopes
Of something
Less forgettable
It was a bitter end
To a new day
So here comes the hopes
From the depths of
Grey
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
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 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
From the growth of ages
Comes the word
Of what comes next
In times of growth
Realized
The adult life
Is upon my eyes
