my hopes
are tinted
on an old car
dashboard
wasted from the
summer light
harsh on the dash
so I gather a more
tinted approach
to the life
that I live
tinted

blithe
ill be blithe today
with a cheerful
grin
towards the sky
above
me
so as to see the light
shower down
new
with a vision
of hope
today
and true
Flippant
I have adopted the flippant
Approach
To the news
Of what matters little
In my sphere of control
So I take a new light
Into the darkest night
When all is lost
I laugh
To just to be alive
Is my only thought
Draconian
Lay down the law
Heavy as a lead balloon
Over the lives
Of the many
Not the few
The draconian rule
Come from those who
Have the most to loose
So heed the warnings
Of a way of life
Unusual
To you
Highway to the Sky
The highway runs
Up into the sun
As it blurs out
You see what has been undone
As traffic jams
Await a new universe
Of holding hope
For the next green light
As we set our course
For the journey
To the
Highway in the sky
Roots to the Sky
Roots grow up to the sky
Backwards
Towards the sun
Way off in the side
To the trees of the universe
Holding the hopes of
The night
So be fragile in spirit
And embrace the unknown
Of a world upside down
From what
We have known
The Swarm
A swarm of misguided
Souls
Leads the party
Into the depths of confusion
By taking the last hope
Of individual freedom
And smashing it
For their statue of idols
Placed on the throne
Oh well
See the grocery bill
And move on
With life
Controlled
Unclear Eye
The floor that we walk on
Spaghetti lace dress
I move with slow intention
To see the best
Of a world encompassed in moss
Unclear to the eye
The thunder of hope
Beats out
To hear the notes
In the sky
Dysfunctional
What was the place
Where we began
To lose our minds
The dysfunction of time
Wasted
Is now set
Deep in my pen
As I write to you
A verse
Of confusion
In a life
That has become
Much less
Amusing
Endurable
To be endured
With long hands
Holding the grips
Of the changing world
What we feel
Is what we live
And what we hear
From those we know
We make a certain jump
From the life
We have had
A Cup of Songwriting
