I want to speak words that

I want to speak words that

Always will be spoken

And echo in the future

A chorus unbroken

A radio signal

That beams out in space

That doesn’t disappear

And leave without a trace

In all this brevity

In all this brevity

There is a long, long sigh

In the shortness of breath

I long to exhale sky

Rich vocabulary

Replacing simple words

Be the owl or eagle

Not common sparrow birds

Seeking inspiration

Seeking inspiration

I’m staring out in space

I see the sunlight fading

Day leaves without a trace

The night inviting me

The moon wants to converse

But I can’t find the words

To inspire this new verse

Memorable moments

Memorable moments

Pass with joy and parade

I danced and amused but

Our time together fades

Vacant rooms once full, now

The sunlight is empty

All the noise has ceased and

Blank moments are plenty

Feeling vulnerable

Feeling vulnerable

Living without intent

Songs sung in minor, no

Dancing at the Event

Not knowing the future

Only stands to reason

Thoughts without escape clause

Mutiny or treason

Old and getting older

Old and getting older

No closer to the Truth

Further getting farther

From a turbulent youth

Hawks in lazy circles

Today no sign of rain

No answers breaking through

The stillness of terrain

I made no difference

I made no difference

There’s no revolution

Didn’t procreate and

Further evolution

And the Earth spins again

The light has almost died

Never changed an outcome

Raged forth or multiplied
