Tither

Tither away

The days

To the greater good

Or the lesser

But either way

The days you get

Are the ones

You give

Away

Barely Holding

Posted on May 13, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

I am barely holding

On to the loved

Beloved

And must love

I can only see

Myself wither

In the reflections

In the waters below

So I must hold hope

Where I go

I will know

There is hope below

Delay and Time

Posted on April 12, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It’s not the quick

Type of thing

When the words

Spring

From the heart of

One who makes

The decision to go

When others hold

Hope

But a delay can create

An opportunity

To see the future

Or take a break

An Artist

Posted on April 12, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

An artist

Can say

What has to be said

When others

Consider the matter

Dead

So heed the artists

Voice

In the quiet of

Stagnation

For the words of the

Artists

Can heal the

Nation

Accidental Power

Posted on March 9, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

When accidents happen

From the ghosts

Of man power lost

In a dim light of

Reductions

What is left

Is the power that be

So today

I examine

What has come

To me

Wednesday All Day

Posted on March 9, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

Today

Is the day

That runs

All day

Long

From the morning light

To the night song

A Wednesday

Brings a new light

Into my life

Wither and Blow

Posted on March 8, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

Wither and blow

So I am told

Is the way the winds

Goes

It can destroy

The sturdiest of

Foundations

It can rampage

The plans

We are making

So whether it be

The wind or the snow

It changes the face

Of whatever we

Know

Upon the Eve

Posted on February 15, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Upon the eve

We waited

Like children

For the coming days

Of wonder and hope

So we now focus

Our eyes

On a brighter future

Better than we know

Today

Sea Light

Posted on February 8, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Sea light

From the myst

Of the oceans

Barreling

Waves

One on top

Of the other

The sun

Burns through

The brine air

As the speckles of water

Fill the room

Around us

Object Soup

Posted on January 29, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It was a hope

That what my eyes

Glanced

Upon

Was more than just

A temporary

Feeling

But rather

Just an object

Of my gaze

Into the distance
