Evanescent Rose

Posted on May 4, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

A thing of beauty

In the eye to behold

Is a delicate rose

That will live and die

In a few days time

So we must take out time

To take in the beauty

Of the

Evanescent rose

Recondite

From the far off lands

Of the rolling hills

And falling sands

We learn that the world

Itself

Has a plan

For us

If we listen

Or if we care

If we like or if we

Share

So I will say it now

Just be prepared

Don’t wait

If that is not

Your way

Of doing this life

In these moments

Breaking the New

Posted on April 28, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Breaking the new

Is a way of

Taking back what is now

Old

And creating something

Right now

Or

Real soon

The Late Nighters

Posted on April 27, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

The late nights

Nighters

Start when the sun

Is just about to begin

Is daily rotation

I am one in that nation

Of eyes

Looking at the sky

Just before dawn

Wake Up

Wake up

And I’ll take up

A new type of

Analytical

Process

To the days ahead

The Times

Posted on April 25, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

The times have run

Off the course

Of the normal

Bouts of information

Now stationed

At a place

That is unrealistic

And false

Today’s Blue

Posted on April 24, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Today’s blue

Is light and airy

In the sky filled with

Sunshine and light dust

The sky must

Be the honor and hope

Of the day

Ahead

So instead of the

Regular grind

I look to the sky

Today to see

The blue

Layers

Posted on April 23, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It’s never quite that easy

Identity

Ideally

Realization

It’s a complicated thing

We have to understand

That the layers of a person

Are the layers

That we learn about

Hand in hand

Time’s Up

Time’s up for the night

So be alright

With what was accomplished

And what was left

For tomorrow
