Weather worn, whether torn

Weather worn, whether torn 

Silences leaves me with noise

Efforts to be better

A leaning tree with poise

Seeking new momentum 

New outward branch of growth

Inevitable change

Self-made promise and oath

Desire takes strange highways

Desire takes strange highways

Detours and one way streets

The peripheral lost

Perfection self competes

Hope takes a better road

More feasible of friends 

If patience is willing

Long stretches and dead ends

Too many fast growers

Too many fast growers

Too quick to have the all’s

In seeking flash fireworks

They miss the light that crawls

Thrilling rollercoasters

The palaces and throne

And not the wind and air

The things we cannot own

Ran once but now pull me

Ran once but now pull me

Spring demanding presence 

Renew do not expire

Exude effervescence 

Abandon hard old wood

And bathe in beginning 

Set reluctant feet down

On the Earth that’s spinning

Not in gradual space

Not in gradual space

Between depth and shallow

It’s lost crossing a line

Thinner than a shadow

Baggage of moments, our

Unforgettable time

The bombastic blooming

Casual to sublime

Curiosity comes

Curiosity comes

With so many questions

And prizes knowledge to

Serious intentions 

Imagination has

Infinite resources

Untapped or unbridled 

And no college courses 

Radiating outwards

Radiating outwards

With the compass point stuck

Stars not more distant the

Universe more untuck

Playing the dealt hand with

All that I can muster

Gain knowledge and wisdom

Not self-filibuster
