The rally cry of the tired
A worthy cause flamed out with vigor
Passing floating rolling
I have tried
To do good
Good to be undone
So much has to rely on a rally cry
When your tired
And lonely
Not alone
You feel sad
Disconnected from the world
How did it work out not the way it was
All planned
A plane in flight unmanned
The plane now is in the final descent
It will land
How
Unknown
But through all of this
I
We
Have grown
Grown up
So here we come
The yawn of the wise
Can drop over the heads of my contemporaries
Of me
I work out of the hole I have created
Aspiration dedication
But rabid talk has no consequence
No sequence
No following
But I am telling you of this situation
Not as a rebuttal
But as a jobless touch
For my own nature
Contemplating my own future
What will happen
Uncertain
But this is all certainly true
If not now then when
No satisfaction
Hesitation
For the distant frustration
We had to move now
Quickly and in motion
Utter madness around us
In the midst of our lives
Greatest commotion
I am glad that we acted with honor
We did what we said we would do
Moving out into the world
To rely on each other
We learned what we are made of
The tough stuff
The thick and thin ruff
We pushed through
And when the lights hit the stage
There will be just 2 standing
me and you
Back on the road
Dead straight
But a little lesser known
Taken time to rest my hands
Made strides in growth
As a man
Understand that time away makes the heart grow
Reflect what you intake
And undergo
So I go
Mile for mile
I wanted to say hello
Since it has been a while
Walking off the tarmack
To a shimmering glaze of white capped mountains
A blueish overtone of gentle purity
Of the final frontier
Pictures quickly flashed in a moments noticed
I remember walking
But I could have floated
Checking into the rental car
Stale air and stuff seats
Pulling out of spiral bending lots
Upon Alaskan grounds we disperse
What these eyes now behold
Could never have been done with
Critical description rehearsed
Phone calls connected before our arrival
Preparations made as best as we know how
Faces new gleaming with helping hands
Island time is a new resonance we intake
With a Foat Top silhouette in the backdrop
Down the Seward highway
We make our paths
And are already planning on coming back
I pulled the fangs from a giant
The childlike motions made
It was alright
The industry didn’t need
Poltergeist
The planes of purpose
Sailed over the profits of daily routine
People’s new hopes
Become less of the ideal and more of the reality
The tenuous run up
Run down
The industry itself was turned upside down
We grab what we can
Our purpose hangs in the rafters
We present ourselves in a different light
Hoping to created from every side
As one industry sinks
Another arises
From the ashes to the sky
Happenstance
Tuesday sunsets
Photo shoots
Unnamed contagious suit
Make our way on the east side
We will ride
Making appointments on time
Barely
Sun rips through the fields
So filling
So sweet
I owe a stare to you
A stare of wonder
Concern
But more wonder than concern
I will become absorbed in your beauty
Radiant beauty
The odds that I could be
Completely absorbed in your smile
The way your throw your hair back
You could be a beauty ambassador
A lovely representative
I owe you a stare
To make you feel cherished
How great would the odds be
If I were a suspect on trial
That your eyes would lock back on mine
It could just so happen
That in this quick motion
Our eyes collide in meeting
Like atoms of plutonium
It will happen
I will stare
And nothing will ruin that moment
For I owe you a stare
Radiant blue on crisp white
Bright
Bridges at night
City comforts on the side
This time
This night
My wife and I hold tight
Clean cement under warm winter skies
Our feet tap the pavement
Like full bellied
Petite
Mice
We balance love work and
Life
Tonight
This may be a little heavy
I will try to keep my hand steady
I just wanted to inquire
Not for me
But for the others around me
Has your mind been
Assaulted by thoughts of suicide
As my father
I know we have never fallen too far
From the tree
My brothers and I
We struggle with life’s
Pull and subside
But I wonder if we
Have all struggled together
The same feeling from the same
Family line
Somehow if we struggle together
It makes it seem
Alright
