I felt the hug
In a dream
Like none before
The depth and gratitude
I felt for those
Who have gone before
So a new title comes
And goes
In life comes wins
And lows
But I recall that dream
And know that life is good
One moment at a time
For this is our moment
Let’s all be kind
What is renewal
To start again
From original sin
To the depths of the moment
We find ourselves in
So heed the time
And take time
To renew
The mind
A blank ship
Hits the White Sea
From the moment
It launched
It was plain to see
That nothing was right
About the moment
Of go
Who knows
Where the ship rolls
Into the high seas
On a day set
From the start
Of eternity
The lines from the morning
Ran over each other
Carelessly
As chalk lines do
On the sidewalk
Of the city
Where the feelings
Were new
To me
On this Monday
Afternoon
I looked from the sidewalk
To the sky
This is the city
Of my life
The weather put me up to it
To walk out the door
In the sake of adventure
Looking once more
For a light
Or hope
In the sun
Was a color
I hadn’t felt in a while
Groovy and strange
Over the swampy range
Was a glimmer
That life will go on
The repeat fade
Stayed
A few days
Too long
And so
The repeat goes
Again and again
What I don’t understand
Is how it’s the same
Day over and over
And no one person
Notices
Unite the seashore
With water
Wide and blue
From the coast of Carolina
To the Florida Blue
To California
And Delaware
Everywhere
Can unite
With the waters
That give life
To the world
That we grow
And the only world
I have ever known
It was awful grubby
The attitude of the day
Some would say
Downright
Deplorable
For me I have
A few regrets
To take away
From the day
That went from clear
To grey
Rainfall night
It was awful grubby
Alright
It was a mistake
To hope for change
To vote for change
To think change
Was one step away
Rather it is a way
Of life
And thinking
Living and breathing
We can’t just hope
We can’t just vote
We must live
We must strive
Push into the future
Our good values
Rather than die
On the limb of
Hope
Get your place in line
All the time
From the finish
To the starting line
One paycheck to the
Next
The insurance march
Will keep you in step
Direct
Your life
And finances
In the way of
Confusion
What we pay for
Is just an illusion
Of ideas
Rather than real
Value
Who gets screwed
Me
And
You
