Ready for Change

Ready for change

In time

Corrections

Rearrangements

Replacements

Preparing the table

Setting it up

Sturdy and stable

We will move ahead

Into the blowing winds

Lean In

Lean in to hear

The words spoken softly

Worth waiting to hear

Every moment

Every cheer

Lean in time

Lean in past and future

Teach me

With the lean in

Ain’t that the Truth

Kids and a grand daughter

In the greatest of way

We talk

We laugh

Ain’t that the truth

I reply

As we slide through the history

We make friends

In these moments

All through life

Love Me

Love me today

In a moment of disgrace

Weakness

And fear

Love my soul

Love me as we grow old

Weakness and health

Poverty or wealth

Just love me

Salisbury Steak

Certain meanings

Tucked in certain places

Certain feelings

Away in foolishness sameness

Salisbury steak on a Tuesday

Makes for a weird wire of digestion

As Wednesday approaches

Regret in tempting the only remnants

Of a Salisbury steak

Ruby Fields

Ruby fields

When the sun sets deep

In the western skies

Near the art of water

In summertime

Longing grains of wheat

Holding hands to the sky

Dancing

In the evening moonlight

Turmeric Eyes

Yellow eyes

As the sun sets over the mountains

Before the pink of evening

And past the day

There is a place

Where the yellow burns

Bright in an evening way

Over the fields of Nebraska

And short of the western edge

There is a silken sound

Whisked away

In the evening air

In the eve of today

Nuclear Minor

Nuclear

Options

Minor strategies

Most beholden ideals

Not communicated

With presidential seals

The major of the minor

The diminished to the augmented

Hold the forte for now

Point Mail

Point mail

Portions

Off in the air

Sent off the rails

I need the point mail

Sent right to the point of contact

The Ignorant Rifle

The ignorant rifle

Has no aim

No connection

To a soul

To a human heart

It is made of cold steel and wood

Keep it tucked away

Like we should

Ignorant rifles

Have no place in a home

In a community

This mutiny

Stops

When the guns are put away
