Forgiven
Words
Can be erased
With time and heart
That is worn
On the sleeve
Of those seeking
The forgiveness
Seek
Then to forgive as well
Forgiven
Words
Can be erased
With time and heart
That is worn
On the sleeve
Of those seeking
The forgiveness
Seek
Then to forgive as well
When will I be here again
In the same place
With a familiar thought
Or feeling
The work that has to be
Done
To get the same
Repeating
So instead
I take the breathe
Of the day
And breathe in
The whole feeling
Of living in this moment
Pushing ahead
In a world
Half alive
Half dead
Tomorrow is
Another day
Another chance
To be
Free
Another round
This time
It’s off kilter
But done in a way
That makes me happy
Today
What are my hopes
One dream
Comes and goes
Along the same
Shores
Who knows
So the hope rises
And fall
All along
The life
Long
Nothing is required
In a life
Fully lived
No education demanded
More depends on
What you give
Rather than take
So remember
That none is required
To live
A good life
Today was a blur
A blur for good days
Blurry days
All take the same amount
Of time
To live through
So be blurred
Days of mine
Any time
Who is to blame
A shame
Of a time
Had
When all that is wrong
Is now right
All good is bad
Everything is backwards
And that’s that way we are had
So who takes the fall
From the media
To politicians
Who live in desperation
Of oxygen
Based on fear and lies
Who is to blame
For these hard times?
On a summers day
Blithe
With the orange
Sun
And the folding waves
On the wide open
Waters
Of Lake Michigan
Strawberries in a
Farmers Market
Make a fresh repose
To this life we live
A single digit day in store
The ice clad water
Laps against the shore
Of Lake Michigan
On the southern front
Where industry meets
Earth
The cold blows over my skin
Again
And reminds me of my youth
When it wasn’t to hard
To live through the bitter
Cold
