Short on time
Bypass formality
My mind is set
My goal defined
Short on time
Rushing the page
Executing rough designs
Monthly Archives: May 2022
Persistence
Pick up where I left off
Never ending
No such thing as enough
No such thing as luck
Something happens, or it doesn’t
Simple fact
Life is all or nothing
Short words
Place holders
Fast lines
Busy mind
No time
Turn play to work
The latter must come first
Economy of Time
Lost confidence
Fear seeps into my head
Creeps toward my heart
Settles in my legs
Weakness permeates
Progressive loss of strength
I’m in the waning days
I’m bargaining
Making more bad trades
Shorter Lives
If I could hold time in my hands
I’d wrap it like a gift
I’d give it all to you
Every single bit
I’d wish away the pain
All the struggles of old age
I’d see you spend your days
Resting or at play
Laying in the garden
Driving neighbors mad
Going for long walks, then sleeping like the dead
My head is full of memories
Most happy, some sad
Unconditional love is something rare to have
Lost Transitions
Familiar blooms, taken for granted
Planted in good faith
Things aren’t how they used to be
The seasons seem to change
No space between
From winter to summer
Shorter falls and shorter springs
Flora struggling
Harder to take root
Cracked earth, bearing little fruit
Find Spring
Try to outrun the weather
Clouds sever, disconnected from the sun
Bearing down
Storm brewing in the door yard
Hard rain
Soil begging for days
The dry spell is over
Sky coming down in waves
Range
Reaching out across space
Sending grace in my stead
Distant, but not disconnected
Try my best to maintain
Reaching out
Expanding proximity
Interference
The ever expanding page
Modern day magic
Data received, signal sent
Destined to fade, but growing ’til then
I transmit myself, trying to defend
Life
Finite band
Transference
Outlive the skin
Hiding Keys
Combating habits
Long standing
Some are hard to break
Running deep
Stretching back decades
Day by day by day
Becoming stronger
Evolving as I age
Subtle change, some things don’t go away
I’m the prisoner, just as I’m the cage
