Water and Bridge

Water and bridge

Opportunity overpass

Go through

Make a new way

Where there was none

Look forward not back

As the water lashes

The beams

Of new opportunities

Water and bridges

Meeting where

The new you

Begins

An Old Friend

An old friend

Was always familiar

So much so

That I could swear

That we had met before

In some other life

But in a similar realm

How quickly

Life can change

From sustained to lost

Living

To holding on

I love my old friend

As he transitions

Making his way from one life to

Another

And we will me again

My friend and I

New York View

A grey off colored late morning

The pendulum of metronome

Clanks from within the construction walls

The paisley building stand

Juxtaposed to billboards and lights

The creamy paleness of the Queensboro Bridge

Speckles with lights and cars

Crawling slowly over

And crimson and white lines smoke

Stacks litter the sky

Industrious

Illustrious

The east river is covered from sight

The land filled with energy

Motion

Magnificient architecture

Glistens well into the night

A New York view

New to me in a way

But still the same

And true

 

Unequal Comparison

Why hold true

To a standard irrelevant

To me and you

Thinly veiled lies

With boundaries soft and broken

Our lives push

While the past we keep holding

An unequal comparison

Of feathered grey facts

Keeping the slow-moving world

At ease

Relaxed

 

Delays in Night

Delayed

Unfettered display

Of reckless disregard

On guard

Words with no meaning

Indecisive

Backward leaning

Back in the night

When the sun lies low

That is where the weak prosper

The forbidding go
