Tune out the news
Blues walking shoes
Vacate twitter
What happens when we decide
To take growth
Over whither
Return my life to its original place
Before the trace
Of overbearing promises
Fights and rejections
My God
The insurmountable resurrections
With a flick of a switch it was gone
Life was back
Life was back
Friend and moments
Time and history
What changes ahead and lies behind
Can be one great mystery
From meeting to realizing
From analyzing to growing
Friendships have a way of outlasting
While the mind keeps going
But at some point distance can be too great
Challenges and differences to obtuse
That is when some friends just have
To cut loose
But friendships change as do all living creatures
If history be true
This surely it will teach us
Strange feelings amongst the regulars
Uneasy thoughts run through worried minds
Somehow what we once knew
What we now know
Is crossed quickly
As a very fine line
No one human can erase loving heart
Who have created a better hope
For us to believe in
Through thick and thin
No man or woman
Should ever feel a stranger
On their own land
Clouded skies
With fervent motion
Unheeded warnings
Dawning new emotions
Get caught in actions each day
Each ego has a hope
Of making blue
Out of gray
Clout of one never to be overdone
Clout of none
Distant hopes
Banging on distant drums
Help from the highest form
Worn with great dignity
While the weight of the world
Feels to be killing me
Helps come from the hidden corners
From the darkest moments
Hope is born
Hope is born
Fast impact
With little for sustain
Sustenance or compounded frame
How can we be so quick
To change
Change judgement
Words
Rearrange meanings and then
Come back to the same
What is it that can revolve
A door then disappear in moments
How can this happen overnight
Into the bright light
No one has it right
No one has it right
Creativity
Thrives
Even in dark times
When uncertainty
With purpose
Creativity can give us new hopes
New songs
With full verse
Creativity lives strong
Feel the lines of creative thought
When all else seems wrong
In a free world
Not all is perfect
In times of struggle
Waiting
Resolution
Hating
We are all not without our
Flaws
Broken bones
And wrapped up jaws
I realize my imperfections have weight
Putting on me a certain strain
But better to make progress than to stall
To stand tall
And push through
Imperfections
And all
Shut off the light
Turn down the music
Grab a glass of tea
Time to loosen
Off we go
Rest and do it again
Everyday comes early
And everyday ends
Don’t be bewildered by words
Harmonies written in thirds
Set your sights on goals to be achieved
Look not for the setting sun
In the east
Fearful souls will not set other free
While being held in silent captivity
If there is hope in the future
Then we must learn from the past
Return not to ancestry for fear
Don’t obey the written rules
When truth must be verified and renewed
March in the light
And hope for the future
To bring about change
Just a little bit sooner
