The passing of the tap water over your fingers, Each sound that’s listened to as you try to sleep. Time is not ours to keep. The smells you remember, Talks on the phone, Mostly it’s the times you’ve spent alone. The opening of a new chip bag, All the anticipation Without the slightest frustration. Mind murals I reflect on, Things from a life that have come or gone. Searching not one but all, Passing someone down a hall. Eating the best food, Saving nothing for later, It was a pleasure that did matter. A favorite movie scene over and over, The same joke told a thousand times, The look in the mirror at a thousand lines. It’s simple yet quick, Effortless yet worth working for, Our moments in time for us to savor once more.
You are there
I am here
You want this
I want that
Thinking first has never been your thing
Acting first is what you bring
Hoping has been my for’te
But you think that’s a waste of a day.
I agree to disagree
But you get angry with me
I wait for you
You walk right through.
Endless work for you
Not for me, that makes me blue.
Giving up is your easy answer
Mine is to dance instead of joining the clamor.
Used to be us
Instead, it is refuse to discuss,
Standing apart
Instead of sharing one heart.
Separate ways now we concede to
Worlds apart , no me with you.
Just like a song You’re playing your life All wrong. Never happy Never satisfied No, I’m not being sappy! In an instant Your life here was no more That day you were persistent. You chose to run I tried to stop you But it had only just begun. A hole inside me Where once you were Your choice, you see. Moving on Staying still A different pawn Choices we make Can bend us or be all too much Try being real now…not fake. Standing in decisions Means getting dirty sometimes Stitching up a life means first cleaning the incisions. Sometimes it’s in following dreams You forget to fix the holes Never fully fixing it, it seems. Let the rest of it Be real, not a mimic So you’ll have a life you fit.
When your rainbows carry with them shadows
And those weeping days
Keep creeping towards your way
Choose a different perspective
No need to stand still and be unreflective
Give your heart another beat
Follow better paths with your own two feet
Let those Shadows dance
Let your weeping come and go if given a chance
It is par for our course, in this life
But we don’t have to be wounded by life’s knife.
Different goals, perhaps
Different matters, an occasional relapse
It is okay
It will all pass, one day.
Believe in good things again
It is only a matter of time, my friend.
