It seems to never sleep
The sadness and its joys
Not long for us to keep
We press on and hold hands
Make it better for few
Why must we be strangers
We grow old yet seek new

The golden light is near
The golden light is near
Impressionistic paint
Like a stained glass window
Or halo of a saint
The sycamores waiting
Crickets and katydids
Provide the swan song for
The summer and its kids
Remember Vietnam
Remember Vietnam
Draft numbers by birthday
Happy to thoughts and prayers
Candle wish to mayday
Random numbers decide
Is my brother listed
Who wins this lottery
Emotions all twisted

In a lake of thoughts
In a lake of thoughts
Ontario for now
In the plunge for meaning
Beyond the present bow
Intimacy changing
Still sharing the one coat
Patinas of aging
And the feelings that float

Brown pelicans diving
Brown pelicans diving
Like crashing kites on sand
The must of survival
Fragility of and
The genetics of us
Elephant memory
Even in our sleep we
Sense our nest family

A steel plate and traffic
A steel plate and traffic
Like a stethoscope sound
Irregular heartbeat
Cars rushing to leave town
Holding breath at red lights
Like a swimming pool dive
On green lights they surface
With a random honk, drive

Ali’s pebbles pressure
Ali’s pebbles pressure
In both of these worn shoes
Days are passing through with
Moments stale of old news
Whirlwinds growing quicker
New York minutes a snap
Yet Sunday afternoons
Still carving out a nap
