Will You?

Life is today and not tomorrow
The wind on your face
The rain on your fingers

Will you sing your life today or will you be silent?
Will you look at yesterday with a smile or a frown?
Will you dance or will you be still?
Will you dream or will you hide?

Do you hear the rhythm?
The heartbeat of life all around us
A gentle beat that never ends
Surrounding every moment

...

Implicit

It’s simply a broad view
The rugged face, the lack of lace
The intense reality

Tones of nothing
The separated something
Ripped

The Tide

As I breathe in, as I breath out
The waves continue to crash
Sometimes gentle, sometimes strong
Always there a simple song

I am but a plaything in this life
Yet it is I who holds the reigns
I decide the direction today
I experience the moments until tomorrow

The dark and cold winter moon
Makes way for the warm and bright sun
Two opposites of equal beauty
I live in the middle alive and well

...

Talent

Stars align
Pictures form

Bated breath
Perfect storm

Swirl color
Dancing view

Sea of change
Waves of life

Empty fields
Growing green

Melody ending
Simple stop

Forefathers

wouldn’t Jefferson be proud
watching from the cliffs of eternity
watching the waves of liberty
watching as they dissipate

jagged rocks with jagged growth
corporate lichen with no remorse
cancer disguised as freedom
a ticking bomb sent as a gift

wouldn’t Franklin be proud
watching from the cliffs of eternity
watching us sacrifice freedom
for a false sense of security

no longer taxed from the grave
by the greedy elite above
listening from yesterday
weeping for us all
