Retreating from battle

Retreating from battle
Passive to narcissist
Surrendering to win
Absence makes arsonist

Enjoy celebration
Everyday a marvel
Seek surprises while they
Are losing their marble

Demanding to dance while

Demanding to dance while
Hoping to step on toes
Always skipping rocks where
The peaceful water flows

And never allowing
The injuries to heal
Your dogs must be trained
To beg , sit, stay and heel

Oh the joy of relief

Oh the joy of relief
Oh the sense it's over
Like finding a tiny
Missing four leaf clover

The burden has lifted
Gone are the weight and strife
Now starts the steps for a
Far more meaningful life

The apple orchards are

The apple orchards are
Heavy with ornaments
This August morning has
Cool autumn sentiments

But the day is canvas
Pulled drum tight on a frame
Bleaching sun and showers
That pop-up and exclaim

It is not the first time

It is not the first time
Sifting through a wreckage
Weighing the misfortunes
Concluding the message

Of who and why and how
Giving our anger rights
By declaring freedom
And then putting up fights

Out of the dust cyclone

Out of the dust cyclone
Waiting for the blank slate
Turned around, lifted, dumped
Need of a better state

Another summer slows
Today the clouds are still
Possessing the want and
Ultimately the will

Not a magnetic pull

Not a magnetic pull
Holding us together
More glue and more glue won't
Hold in extreme weather

And when the pieces fall
It was always my fault
And apologies were
Deposits in your vault
