week 577 ~ build up the small personal world
build up the small personal world
around you let it surround you
myopically to get you through
to another day’s dreams still curled
up inside waiting once unfurled
there’ll be no going back proudly
you will stand walk ahead doubt free
but not today not yet take time
to heal make sure to wipe the grime
off the windshield so much to see
week 437~ a refugee from nevermore
a refugee from nevermore
I need a place to hide away
when there is nothing left to say
when no one’s asking what it’s for
truth hid and someone locked the door
there where we once had hope could trust
before disaster now the dust
settles we hardly look up from
our trouble so much still could come
we move ahead because we must
week 427~ pragmatically you let go of your dreams
pragmatically you let go of your dreams
and hope they will hover somewhere close by
that’s not as impossible as it seems
adversity may teach them how to fly
and you’ll get to visit once in awhile
brush off cobwebs recalculate orbits
or if you have a moment maybe dial
their number listen to the phone ring it’s
hard to hang up but there’s real work to do
life heavy with responsibilities
rides your shoulders and owing others you
keep your head down perhaps the wise man sees
value in patience but don’t wait too long
to grab the wheel and drive your own song
week 326 ~ I have been waiting my whole life for this
I have been waiting my whole life for this
and yet it seems as if I’m still not there
searching without quite knowing why I stare
hard at the future hoping I won’t miss
my turn when it comes no one understands
but me (and do I really) why striving
is in my blood I want so much to sing
a better song this tunnel vision lands
me in hot water sometimes like tonight
when an inconsequential story falls
askew on skeptical rocks (and recalls
the fallibility of words) still light
jumps 7 waves with me and our wishes
swim out to sea like brave drunken fishes
week 203 ~ any day now my dreams will all come true
any day now my dreams will all come true
well unless they never get off the ground
waiting for something I already found
once anyway I was thinking of you
wondering if you’ve really laughed lately
or if you’re simply marking time while I
jump at the moon over and over try-
ing to catch the future repeatedly
overshooting the mark who’s crazy here
you giving up or me always wanting
more frankly I’m tired of believing
there could be more that I’ll prevail and clear
sailing awaits but nevermind I trust
this letter finds you well my dear we must…
