Granite Stones

Cold 

Underlining counters

With reflective site

Elbow cold

Down by my side

Granite stones

In suburban homes

This life we live

The truths we own

Lays on top

Of these granite stones 

Aches and Pains

Aches and pains

Strange held hands

In a cold rain

Under red skies

Under falling leaves

In a lake 

Not a sea

The aches and pains

Cities and lanes

Riding in the cars 

Remain the same

A Birds View

A birds view

On life

Eating 

And staying alive

A birds view

Reminds us 

To see the greater scene

Truth revealed 

When we pull away

From time to time

We learn

To let go

Fly

A birds view is needed

Tonight

What in the World

The world

Is not ours

We deserve nothing

We have our lives

Our decisions

Some want it all

Packed in raw made

Incisions

How the world falls

When the silly

Want it all

Build our lives

With broken chairs

Sit in as we dare

The whole world

Is at stake

Terrible times

To make a mistake

The Old Night

The old night lets go

Moving forwards

Growing old

While the fall winds

Begin to blow

In a storm from the west

Summer being laid to rest

I take a moment and remember

As the eyes of December

Begin to focus on us

The old night lets go

I to can’t hold on to the past

I must move forward

Into the unknown

To grow

To go

 

Take a Break

Walk away

Start anew

From Tuesday blues

To Wednesday new

Hold on to new days

No matter what anyone says

Hope is best in moderation

Don’t let go

When optimism is lost

It may not come back

Gone drifting into the black

Hold on to what is true

Hold this day 

Anew

Remembering The Ones

In a world where we gather

Come together

Yet we come in alone

We grow old

We make new friends

And say goodbye to others

Our hearts learn to love

Let go

We hold each other close

For in the end

We all know

We must go it alone
