We will move ahead

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
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 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
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
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
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
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
Portions
Off in the air
Sent off the rails
I need the point mail
Sent right to the point of contact
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
