Trying to go
Beyond the words
That I can muster
Created in a small
Cluster
To reach beyond
My own limits
Today
Right now
Trying to go
Beyond the words
That I can muster
Created in a small
Cluster
To reach beyond
My own limits
Today
Right now
Even on off-days
Try to stay on
In a way
That connects all of us
From night to dawn
The up and downs
All-around
Are keeping me up
During these off days
A diner mug to go
With no relation
To where to go
Up and onward
Is the way to be
With my diner mug
In my hand
I will give it to you
A rad perspective will do
In a time and place
When we need to contemplate
A new approach
To life
So thank you
A push to go up
Further
Than I knew
I could go
Today is a day to go
All the way
Intent set
For the getting
I strum carelessly
Thoughtlessly
Caring me through
The day
Effortlessly
If not for a few chords
What am I
Just another
With an idea or
Two
Floating through
A silky wash
From the waters
That refresh
Recreate
A new opportunity
From here
You and me
Facing our own fears
All the kings’ men
Couldn’t bring back
The country again
As it turns out
It was just us
The average man and woman
That made the whole
World
Whole
Again
Deeply anxious
In so many ways
How can I learn to say
The small ways I have
Grown
In times that require that
We let go
Of what we have known
What we learn
We head back to a time
When the best we can do
Is just wait in our corners
Me and you
A wretched rotten
That’s all I’ve gotten
When there is nowhere else to go
Downtrodden
My mind
Collecting moments
I wish could be forgotten
Today’s memories
All the same
Will be knotted
To the post
In my brain
