Whittle down the moments
To the ones that matter most
Take part in the life
That free your ghost
Of past and present
Embrace that from which you came
Into the world
And see the room ahead
With eyes a new
Blaze with hope
For a new you
I see a future
Not as bright as the past
As the water flows to the grave
Of my father
To know what a future without the man
Who made me who I am
Uncertain are the hopes
But as the rain washes over the place
Of eternal rest
I have the memories I cherish most
To be an anchor post in this life
I have love of the man who
Helped build me from the ground up
I hold this hope
And will never give up
Off to the waters
From the waves
Lapping on the side of the wooden boat
Brought over the water
Floating into the day
I hear the water and see
The sailing stripes
I have a hope when I see the open sea
To be aware of the moments of life
That help lift the mind
Out of the difficult deep blues of the ocean
The ship reminds me of life
Completely
The rain stays
After the falling drops
Bring about the memories
Of my beloved pops
Those who go before
Can see from the sky above
As the rain falls down on the ones
They love
These days bring out the rain
Tears and strain
Of loss and growth
That has to overcome the mourning
To take boldly a new morning
I love the days when the rain falls
I feel the water pulls me closer
To the ones who are gone
Who lay in the ground
And wait for the rain sound
Guitar melody upon the hidden room
Where the music lives
And comes into full bloom
Not too soon from the time
In reservation
Consternation over the progression
Chords blossomed out
Cars at the intersection
Melodic and sweet
Upon the ears arrived
The guitar rests easy
Waiting for the player to
Take the time
To write down the next song
Of humble thin whistle
Upon the winds of change
And into the human range
Peach time of life
From the sweet nectar to the bitter core
The peach of life set’s me free some more
Till the land and watch the soil
From that will come the hope of a summers toil
From the leaves and the grass
Comes the sweetness at last
Someone I forget these small subtleties
When I go to the grocery and grab what I need
But to remember the sweetness of the peach
Upon the land
Taken and set free
Apple of my eye
Stride in the moment of life
Taken one foot over the other
What was once a void
Now has been filled with
Another
To see life so sweet as the moment
Laid before us
I take the hope of a moment
For the apple is the creation of the earth
And I am as well
Connected we are
More than I can tell
Today is better than the last
At last
The moments set us free
From the fear
To peace and tranquility
Grass perfectly pushed over to one side
Golf days and feeling alright
As the vintage rock seeps from the old speakers
In the club
Golf days have just begun
The bird and the squirrel
Eating from the land
Surviving in the moment of wild
Desert heat
Upon the realization of friends
Not in actual physical
But in the spirit of the land
Upon the eyes
Seeing each other
In the light
One by flight
One by land
They protect the life and
Gather what they need
Oh what we an learn
From the squirrel and the bird
The lighthouse off the dune
Is the beacon of light
To me and you
The weather has lost us
In the mist of rain and clouds
Coming over us like a blanket
Tell me a story of being found
Amidst the water and the rocks
Taking us on the journey
As we have lost the captain to the delusion
Of the ocean waves
We have to take ourselves back
Back to the shore
Guided by the light of the lighthouse
Brining us home
