Quick beat
Time fleeting
None left to spare
Throw away words
Lost in empty air
Quick beat
Time fleeting
None left to spare
Throw away words
Lost in empty air
Realms of thought
Some small and obtuse
Acute perspective
Narrow field of view
Choosing isolation
Others vast and diverse
Well traveled destinations
Expanding every day
I strive to be the latter
Open mind
Adventuring
Somewhere beyond barren trees and brown spans of grass
Colour comes again
Never meant to last
Passing days of Spring
Leading into Summer
Fall waiting in the wings
Then back to Winter slumber
Season blanketed by snow
Stealing all the covers
Half a year in the cold
Malign me
Dark designs
Abuse me
Abuse my mind
Find release
Let knives fly at my back
Take it out on me
What’s one more attack?
Thinly veiled lies leave little to the imagination
Provide no shade for the truth
Just as bare when the light shines through
Essentially naked
Oh so easily viewed
The green returns
Life’s yearning in the shades
Songs of Spring
Sung by smaller things
Hid away beneath the grass
Some rise, some fall still as you pass
Compound eyes, iridescent sheen
Insects at their work
Some below, some come on wing
The aspects of eternity, as only the self understands
Everything that was, is, will be, yet limited
The experience of life
Everything
Precious and finite
Last ditch effort
Pay the price
The way forward isn’t free
Spend your body, spend your mind
Invest yourself wisely
Try to garner some returns
No risk taken, no reward to be earned
Cage made of glass
Rat testing the limits
Invisible force
Cannot gain purchase
Can’t burrow out
Suspended in a cage that some might call a house
Falling out of step
I’d rather set my own pace
Take a moment
Plan more carefully
Before I make a move
Scout ahead
Check each path before I choose
