Propinquity
The moment
I let go
As the finger rolls
Off the ledge
I know that I am close
As the wind holds me up
From the danger below
A new year ahead
And one left behind
What will come in the moment
Of life
To be close
But forgotten
The stroke of midnight
In the city that never sleeps
As the sun fades on the final
Day
Of 2024
I rejoice quietly
With ebullition
But subtlety
Resilient
For in the night
Comes another day
Another chance
To say
I can do
Better
The old alarm
Started ringing again
In my mind
I heard
What I have never said
That the past
Can haunt
When eyes focus on
He future
So we can’t foeget
When we start again
It’s starts with a statement
A conclusion
Of some drastic dillusions
That results
In a unique situation
Of free man
Amongst a free natuon
It’s the nature
Of indecency
Of last minute
Clemency
Calling sides
Major dilemma
Taken in strides
Years come and go
Making room for us to grow
But what will come of
Yelling that coverts to anger
And anger
Nothing
Let our resolve
Be greater than nothing
Lake said
Take care
On the eve of the
New year
Stations bustle
With life and hope
New Years resolve on
Full display
Hoping to see a year anew
Starting over in a city
Seeming to fit
This year will be a hit
When the Des Plaines and Illinois Rivers
Meet
Headed to the Mississippi
There is a pace
Nestled on the shores
Of Lake Michigan
Black building scraping the sky
Leaning back
On the windy side
At the bed of the river
Lies mysteries
And long live series
Notes and pens
Float at the riverbed
Years of passing through a city’s heart
And in all of our heads
When the three rivers make one
And down stream it flows
Through Chicago
New Years Sky
New York City
Bustling streets
Everyday dreams
On the streets
Lifted up to
Empire high
Ever upwards
And continually so
Feeling the New Years glow
There is a place
I wish to go
When the snow gets cold
When the sun is
Grey with clouds
Obstructing the way
Out on the western edge
Way west
Just past Ventura
And Sunset
In January
Eve of February
Take me there
Evening sweet
Coffee gallery
Of beans
From all over the world
One cup
One whirl
Spring water
Fresh through the grounds
Can be found
In any town
Coffee gallery with a view
To see the beauty of golden hues
Acidity
A Cup of Songwriting
