So many left hand turns

So many left hand turns
Acceptance and forgive
Regrets for not trying
Or words lost in the sieve

Opportunities gone
Choices poorly chosen
The efforts to keep peace
By remaining frozen

Wade with me the waves are

Wade with me the waves are
Gentle time caressing 
Horizon full of Hope
Hourglass sand addressing 

The sun and moon at work
Ships floating without sound
There for each other our
Overboard cargo found

Dreams kept in yesterdays

Dreams kept in yesterdays 
Clothes now out of fashion
Pristine and perfection
Slightly reduced passion

Hopes continue to shine
Light on in the kitchen
Again time to retire
Tomorrow will pitch in

Transparent as the moon

Transparent as the moon
On this bright afternoon
We cannot erase nouns
As for the verbs, too soon

Reaching for back pockets
For the object before 
The answers always here
Like the creak in the floor

Swirling into settle

Swirling into settle
Clouds covering the sky
Large raindrops falling on
The sped up passerby

Owls inch closer to trunks
Safety not for granted
The heavens release and
The passerby panted

Silence sings its own song

Silence sings its own song
Ribbon melody thought
Nighttime has many shades
Levels of light and naught 

Faces are a timepiece 
Expressions a second
The hours for attention 
Worry wrinkles beckon

Whistle through a rainstorm

Whistle through a rainstorm 
Weather without control
Accepting gravity
Not a box, be a ball

Out here in elements 
The robins in relish
Living a celebrate
Without an embellish
