Anticipating the

Anticipating the

Goodbye after hello

Before the afternoon

And the moonlit halo

Love encompasses both

Happiness and sadness 

Us sharing space then not

From Holi to blackness

Progress still being made

Progress still being made

Plateaus bring preparedness

And greater clarity 

A stoic declaredness

Frog on a lily pad

The earthworm in the rain

The here to horizon

The elevated plane

Benevolence wilting

Benevolence wilting

The act of drying tears

Beyond the emojis 

Eliminating fears

Creating boogeymen

The wanton and unwant 

And good citizens are

Deemed terrorists to taunt

Disruption in the plan

Disruption in the plan

With steps out of sequence 

Goals eclipsing the wants

Expressed in great frequence

Rarely seeing and yet

Sensing the becoming

Hear the latch on the gate

Threshold steps incoming 

Still holding souvenirs

Still holding souvenirs 

Awakening insights

Or memory markers

Park benches or air flights

Times the way they were and

Sharing steps in the miles

That one clover, that look

Still here in all the whiles 

Leaving a safe harbor

Leaving a safe harbor 

Curiosity waits

Strange in the familiar

And the flooding of straits 

A truck shaking dumpsters

Stonehenge dominoes fall

A thought in moon phases

Above China’s Great Wall 

Two plus two equals five

Two plus two equals five

Do not believe your eyes

Barbarism is where

Decency goes and dies

Wanting to cause harm and

Where freedom for the few

Is determined by force

Don’t tread on me snafu
