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
Am I up to it
Today
Or tomorrow
Wherever the world
Goes
I go to
Beware
That upon arrival
Changes occur
Immediately
Prolonged and
Permanent
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
Upon the grass
Mistakes remain
Unhidden
By the whisky grass grains
With wirey
Shadows
Wisp over the ground
My own falt
I see lurking around
The corners and through
The fields
But no more power
Will I let it yield
For today starts a new force
Within me
Hope given to me
To push on
The forever now
Is lived by the youth
In the moments
That tell the truth
That somehow
Right now
Lasts forever
But it is always a deception
All are left for an overcorrection
Now is temporary
And so are we
So be happy
Today
And tomorrow
Wound up to tight
Takes place
At the worst moment
At the worst sight
But when the time comes
To bring it back
The ropes have to be unwound
So that they don’t snap
So it starts with a twist
In the opposite direction
From the current tension
So that the line
Can start to relax
Again
Todays days
Starts with a morning gaze
Into the pale blue sky
Not a cloud
Around
But the sound of a bird
Amongst the trees
Confiscated ways
Start with simple fascinations
Of time and energy
In the way
Of making today
A better tomorrow
You will hear
Upon arrival
The words once heard
To be the only way
Of survival
Cordial and quaint
Ideally a world
We can see as we paint
The words that we now know
As we grow
The more we achieve
Set out to see
The world around us
And all it is to be
A Cup of Songwriting
