A Little Way

Posted on November 8, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

An unknown hope

Is relative

To the eye that

Perceives

So know when you leave

On a long journey

What is key

Is the way

Large or small

That can make

Possible

The day

Better Times

Better times

Come with a blessing

Ringing like a bell

In the evening

Sun

So enjoy the good times

When they come

Today and now

Is the time

For the best

You

So engage

What is the future

And be what you can

In this moment

Even Though

Even though

There is hope

In the darkness

We have to fight

For the life

We love

So to keep

What is good

For the generations

Above

Bitterness

Posted on October 14, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

Bitterness in moments

Fading

Into one

Giant life

Forgotten

In a blur

Or waste

And dismay

Is the way

That the bitterness is

Made

An Occasion

Posted on October 13, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Any occasion

Makes for a happy word

In the life

Of a bird

Or a human

Its the occasion for time

Itself

So rejoice

That we have time

Right now

To be

Together

Write for Now

Write for now

Write for later

Just put the words on the

Paper

So there is time

To think of what can

Be

When words

Come more

Easily

Tethered

Posted on October 6, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

Tethered

Or free

Is the discussion on hand

Today

I don’t know

What is free

Anymore

So life is defined

By working within the

Confines

Net Gains

Posted on October 6, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

In a world of

Nets and ladders

There is a gain

Made

With every day

A hope birthed

Into the world

That we live in

We just have to

Find this hope

Today

A Life Free of Technology

Posted on October 5, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A life free of technology

Is the art

Of life itself

Untetherd to

Wild hopes

Of nothingness

Scrolling

To endless ambition

Rather gone and

A life free of what

Holds me back

Is what I seek
