Tankable
Was the water
Tankable
And palatable
From the faucet
That leaked
Past midnight
I am not sure
I would drink
That water
It’s not
Alright
Tankable
Was the water
Tankable
And palatable
From the faucet
That leaked
Past midnight
I am not sure
I would drink
That water
It’s not
Alright
The stream
That runs through
The back
Of the house
Is quiet in the
Winter cold night
As the white snow
Runs through the brown
Trees
With green tips
But for now just
Silence
From the stream
Below
A total recall
Were the words
From the world
That all must be returned
Upon arrival
Hopes dashed
With words smashed
Against my brain
So it went
The recall goes on
The birds
Lurk
Over the land
Overlords
With a quick hand
Seeking the weak
And unsheltered
Among the cactus
Crawling bugs
The barbarous birds
Are looking for blood
Out over the vast
Fresh ocean
Of waves and sand
A grip of thunder
Roars out
Over the land
With a lightning
Quick and commanding
Another thunder
From the beach
And sand
Flawless
Is the hope
Of a mind
Stuck on a tight
Rope
Walking the way
With perfect balance
My own thoughts wonder
If flawless is just
A thought
Of what could be
And not what is
Another game
Another night
Another bright
Light
Fight
So I am done
And will walk away
From the chaos
That reigns us in
Everyday
Taken away
From all the mistakes
I have made
From the oceans
To the land
I try to better
Understand
The world
I live in
With hope
And wonder
Under the skies
Yonder
Tomorrow
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
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
