Radiate

From the sun

Comes the life force

Of the day

Early morning grey

Forgotten lights

All around

When the sun falls

So does the town

And out comes the

Nocturnal type

Of life

All around

Tonight

Kneeling

Posted on January 9, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

I am kneeling

In a distant mind

Dirty old fowls

Blowing through

My brain

Until the ides

Of tomorrow

Coming rolling in

Like morning fog

So I hold these final thoughts

On a moment

Kneeling

My mind

Chicken Fangs

Posted on January 6, 2023 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Chicken fangs

The real thing

Or the disdain

Of reality and truth

What is the difference

What is uncouth

How is the past

Is the future here now

The chicken fangs are

Out

All around

Set Sail

Posted on January 6, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

In a New Year

In a new time

To make anew

A world

Around us

All around

We will try

Everyday to set sail

To a better world

Out there

Banquet

Posted on January 2, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

A banquet

To start the year

Is what I hear

Is needed

To remedy

A lost soul

Or lost hope

Like mine

A Wild World

Posted on January 2, 2023 by acupofsongwriting

Is it

A wild place

This home of ours

Looking back

Into a greasy mirror

Of time

I’m sure

That the drag of life

Can be lifted

With hope

And more time

Bring the Light

Posted on December 31, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
1

Bring the light

To the days

That wither

Away

Rather than shining

Bright

In a dark

Cloud of life

Choices

We make

However the light

Shines

When the darkness is

Thick with smoke

We must hold up

We must have hope

Tethered

Posted on December 31, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Tethered to the choices

We discover

And make

Along the way

Of life

And living

In the middle

Of a life lived

Worth

Taking chances

A Little While

Posted on December 31, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A little while

For a year

Goes a long way

In a day of

Uncertainty

And wired

Unhappiness

I wish to break free

For a

Little While

Heard the Herd

Posted on December 27, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

Bring the wild ones

Together

In one motion

To create a unique

Bond

Between the

Lights and those going

Out

Over the days

And nights

The herds

Will come back

To the light
