An old friend
Was always familiar
So much so
That I could swear
That we had met before
In some other life
But in a similar realm
How quickly
Life can change
From sustained to lost
Living
To holding on
I love my old friend
As he transitions
Making his way from one life to
Another
And we will me again
My friend and I
A knit carriage
Will carry me home
When time is undone
Confusion sets in
Find me
Where the wind blows
Through open windows
Upon a knit carriage I
Will
Ride
Take it all in
The sense of free
One man free
Doesn’t have to be
Yours
In hours and moments
We define freedom
Consume freedom and spread
The letters tied
Down
In my head
Write slow and smooth
All the unused phrases
Coming out in time
Hit the pen
Feel the rhyme
In coping with emotions
Happy and sad
Move the pen through feelings
Alive and dead
I hope that in the end
Finally
These words are read
Tired eyes
Tired shoes
Tired lies
On tired shores
There is hope
There is a chance
That we can grow up
Go past
Where the tired eyes
Rest
Arrogant yet animated
Release the coils
Of a foiled sofa
We all have our moments
But let it run
Alternative facts
Alternative sun
My life is mine
Yours
Your own
What we do
How we have grown
Explain the copper wires
Running through my head
The hum of an ill-fated truck
Rumbles distant from my bed
I notice a neat and tenous
Stretch of thought
Running through my veins
Too educated to unite
To high up to rise
These are the excuses we all devise
As the old truck hums
In the distance
Be free
Let go
Into eternity
One molasses
Moment
Moving slowly over me
Seeing how the future will be
Let go
Be free
Into the depths
Of eternity
Escape the fray
Sprawling traffic
On sun baked streets
Of LA
Oceanside
With loaded garbage pales
On my mind
Outside the loop
Unsaid training stations
Headed west for
Western libations
Return enter
To the western end
Sip of coffee
LA blend
On the ocean beauty
Return to the feeling
Soothing
Wait or go
The simple questions
We must know
In moments and in time
We either run away
Or hold our line
Wait or go seems to ask me
What do you want to be
Hold on into eternity
Wait or go
Go
