We witnessed and parted

We witnessed and parted

Perhaps the imprints left

Faded as time washed the

Great reality theft

A fall from a high shelf

Or the pedestal shake

Some events are still as

Fresh as this morning’s break

Someone just beginning

Someone just beginning 

My words not holding weight

Easier said than done

And long washed from my slate

Like Everest calling

Death Valley far away

Strive for the first base camp!

What is it that you say?

Life without normalcy

Life without normalcy

Undefinable roots

Twists in the grain and bark

And misunderstood fruits

Sole intention of be

Having pi in the math

Stirring the elements

To create my own path

Morning with painted light

Morning with painted light

Loose sheets of blank paper

Winter leaves a desert

Across its long taper

First the bulbs then bushes

Then the trees joining in

All the while evergreens

Guard steady with a grin 

No use in worrying

No use in worrying

Like dried blood in the ear

This is not the moment

This may not be the year

Sketchy plans tomorrow

The store in a few days

Rain always forecasted 

Time is never a maze

We reached the horizon

We reached the horizon

From there we could clearly

See all the waiting dreams 

From afar loved dearly

And their beckoning call

Collective whispers shout

We are here and will wait

This is your soul’s about

Swallowing the darkness

Swallowing the darkness

And gardening the bleak

Building daily structures

So Life muscles won’t weak

We are together in

Slowness and in repair

Sketches into paintings

And small steps into stair
