Thought Badge

Don’t wear

The thought badge

Out

When you can speak

Your mind

Don’t keep quiet

And hope thoughts

Will

Save

The World

 

Reflections on Hands

Reflections

On time passed

Opportunities

Taken

Friendships that last

The future holds what I do not know

Or understand

So I appreciate today

I appreciate the land

Where I end up

Is out of my hands

Hum of the Pig

The hum of the pig

Flying down the highway

On a rainy Tuesday

Headed out of town

An illegal badge

Hungover road

As we set our hearts anew

 

Great Days

Can there be greatness

Ahead

When it seems

That the old theories

Of relativity

Can no longer be read

The days we must learn

From our mistakes

Straight on

Sail

With full intention set

That good days

Lay ahead

Ratty

Ratty and marked

These measures are

Progress can be eyed

In the beholder

Of none

Holding up hope

While being torn down

By one

A steam engine rallies

While the iron industry looms

Lake nights

In the second room
