Starts with an offer
Of unknown origins
Pushed at the corners
Murky rewards
In a rather confusing night
What is at stake
And what is left behind
Starts with an offer
Of unknown origins
Pushed at the corners
Murky rewards
In a rather confusing night
What is at stake
And what is left behind
What wonders
Come today
That were not
Understood
Or hoped for
Bring a new year
And I will jump in
It
Right Now
The price we paid
For something new
Is more than a swipe
Now that will do
You pay in atmospheric
Pressure
Contested
With every measure
So hold hope
That more can be made
Than just the price we paid
It’s always a small move
From the endulgance
To the well past due
A movement
Of hesitation
Of crime
And wasted frustration
All these items held constant
I still remember those history books
We read
Just to laugh about
What came before us
And why we last
A cup of coffee
Starts the day
With what these words can say
In a mess of a world
I look for the right words
To do right
Upon the land around us
For it is up to us
To resolve
The mess
That we make
Comes with the New Year
A giddy attempt
At risk
Or something near there
Taking on more than
Should be taken
And handing it down
To those below
And around
A giddy risk is the simple
Start
To a complicated year
Here comes the flatteners
The staple guns
And the irons
To roll out the foils
Pull back the stiches
And roll out the differences
In a moment
We hope to grow
But it seems
That the power from above
Only grows and goes
Beyond
So we prepare
To homogenize
Into one
Yesterday
Seems grand
In it’s far off memory
It cant be like today
When all there is to say
Is that I am worried
About what is to come
And how the future may be bright
But could be easily
Undone
Up and down
All around
A year of intention
Setting
Rather than leaving ground
With one foot up
And one firmly planted
So that this year was more of a
Transplanted focus
Rather than straight through
I guess we’ll try again next year
Me and you
Some days are better than others
I guess that’s the rhythm
Of the natural colors
Of a week
Or an hour
A tree or
A flower
So my gaze sets higher
As my hopes for the day
Aspire
To be more
