In a brief Overwhelm

In a brief Overwhelm

The trees appearing white

As if snow had fallen

On limbs in higher height 

The clouds like shore waves then

An ocean of gold grains

Harvested on dark soil

Unfenced and open plains 

King crabs prey on four fish

King crabs prey on four fish

Two water signs battle

Here in our old age but

One stalking since rattle

How lovely you look in

Your arctic blue sweater

We’ll stay near the surface

Where king crabs don’t fretter

Chameleons seek power

Chameleons seek power

Humanity hungers

These bigoted elders

And ignorant youngers

We must suck out their air

To stop fire from spreading

Jesus would throw sandals

At where we are heading

The fear in poverty

The fear in poverty

Renewing sense of bleak

A hardness that forms from

Exhaustive churning eke

The last carrots of hope

To always be have not

Giving in, giving up

Surrendering to lot

Alive and standing still

Alive and standing still

The whooshing of Life goes

Sensing all the outlines

Without the coating snows

The fractional goodbyes

And hard to find hello’s 

Knowing I must take steps 

And harsh my own mellows 

A crevice now crevasse

A crevice now crevasse

Linoleum layers

Moods like trendy designs

Piled on like brick pavers

The truth of the terrain

Still rings the bell clearly

The wear and the tear still

Begs new flooring yearly

Reaching for out of reach

Reaching for out of reach

I am aging, let go

Try climbing stair step goals 

That allow me to grow

The power of new thoughts

Move with society 

Do not paint memories

Embrace variety
