Intentional Year

Intentional year

With massive implications

Set up

From a stricken

Stance

So for now

I prepare

For what comes next

Odd Clemency

Posted on December 28, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It’s starts with a statement

A conclusion

Of some drastic dillusions

That results

In a unique situation

Of free man

Amongst a free natuon

It’s the nature

Of indecency

Of last minute

Clemency

Never the Same

No matter where we go

What we do

What we learn

Or who we knew

The coming year

Will be a different one

For me

And you

Holding on To Relief

Would you believe

That one man

One intention

To hold on to relief

That is needed

For me and you

This action can’t through

Out or undue

The hope of tomorrow

For me and you

Bully Fuse

Posted on November 20, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A bully fuse

Set of by circumstance

As the lighting of the flies

Comes back to haunt us

In a familiar

And disturbing way

We watch the blaze

With a awe struck gaze

Desert Tree

There is a tree

That grows in the desert

Around a house

Where it is pleasant

All things held constant

It can survive the brutal summers

And winters night

Waning

Waning night

Evening gone

Morning later

Will bring the dawn

For now I rest

An easy soul

In my heart

And growing old

Another Take

Posted on October 25, 2020 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Another take

Staying awake

My mind roams

When it gets to late

So in a hurry

I push the buttons

Most the tiem

I don’t even know

What’s coming

Free form

From the get go

Learning to grow up

Taking it all in now

For time is needed

To understand the present

Traveling Day

Traveling days

Holding up the mask

And getting away

Be conscious as we go

Through the motions

And go
