less than a few dozen

lower than the sky but above
every bit of ground around
stalling before the explosions of fun
sincerely begin
taking time to enjoy the calm that
happens before the storm
aware that all of life is finite
naming this occasion
after a holiday from history
found underneath the memories that were buried
eventually there will be a pause
when the past will no longer matter
directly related to how things go now
only when we think and are made honest
zones of time that are making themselves obvious
ending a few final questions
need the rest but want the fun

morning lullaby

making the system known
organized as a piano dropped off the roof
reading these thoughts before you get them
now that a storm can show the true colors
if you were not
needing to recieve a collection of little kisses
get ready to have your mind changed
let the drapes be opened and the sun shine in
use the tools given to you by nature itself
let these changes of time be
like the shifting of the seasons
and when you grow up you are relieved winter exits
because you are looking forward to next years rain
you and i can face anything together

frosted windows

Forgetting that not everyone is
Righteously immune to this biting chill
Opening the door. No coat.
Standing there as long as the nerves allow
Tiny shivers that destroy your hard-headed mindset
Equal parts motivation and determination
Doing all the things that the past had left out
When people were forced to fight for life
In the dead of winter we all struggle with back then
Needles in the cold feeling of dread and dismay
During a furious moment when
Orders came in to cut this way to real freedom
Working every angle to break through
Solid choices we all face

determined wilderness

doing all that you
ever wanted when it comes to
the future day before the year really
ends and begins all at the same time
right when you think life is decided, it
makes a move that is sure to surprise you
in a cold dark night or in the bright of day
nobody can tell you for sure what their future brings
even a true psychic can be surprised
dark forces, demons and spirits, angels and ghosts
will all seem believable once you look in the eyes of
intimate wilderness
like the abyss of any spiritual imagination
don’t doubt the instincts that you feel
empty your mind and see what you experience
relating to whatever your heart needs
narrow eyes and a growl from the clouds
evicts whatever internal dialogue exists
stopping an outside world for a few hours
sigh like the forest in a calm warm blanket

december fire time

Decorating like the old days
Entering a home so ready to receive
Collections of friends and warmth
Empty plates and full bellies will commence
Making many mouths mightily munching more
Beneath the colored lights
Eyes full of brightness and ears pink and cold
Riding the wave of good sounds and smells
Found through the door
Inner heat will take a bit but that’s ok
Reaching out for an embrace
Every face a smile
To you I dedicate
In the interest of peace
Many positive thoughts and words
Every time I say hello or goodbye

having direction

Hoping for the deliciousness
And arrival of some sort of decision
Vocal and sensing the crossroads
Interest of a change
Now that the time has come for new energies
Gifting the movement in a different way
Doing everything to make new momentum
In these last few minutes before life shifts
Roaming the memories of what came at the
End of our joining of last year’s discoveries
Calling forth a distant former condition
That died when I finally grasped my future
Interested in claiming my collective bliss
Opening myself to the stories of the imaginative world
Now that I know who I am

busted rear view

Believe me, the fire will be an
Unusually refreshing change after the
Short tortures that cold can bring
That reminds you how the world can be
Eventually we all accept our own pain
Delicate flames lightly licking
Red reflections on the edge of night
Equal to the unseen eyes of observing
Around the rim of your consciousness
Roasting these sugars to black on the end of
Very thin sticks picked out for the occasion
Insistent cold winning the battle
Except we have each other to
Wait until the last minute before sleep

imagine the future

It was not so long ago
Many directions were open to me
And I found and chose a route
Getting out of all the temptation games but
Inside the ribcage a burning need is
Now overflowing more and more each day
Emitting a driving desire and bursting
Testy need that will not leave but instead
He’s the growing sound of a thousand bells
Equipped with the perfect note
Found within the syllables of your name
Unique as the sound of a wooden wind chime
Turning your face to the warmth of the
Universe
Ready for whatever a mighty twenty four hours
Evokes for us

a small town road

Around the time we have finally
Struck out on the way to a hole in the wall
Mostly relieved to finally get out for a
Accidentally awesome excursion in
Long looks and experimental drinks
Like a kick start hike in a forest you have never been before
Toasting to a time we recently enjoyed
Off in the distance a loud engine of sound
Wishing us a good evening in a deep bass echo
Nights that start like this are the best
Ready and willing to go for an
Opportunity grabbing slide into the midnight hour
And then returning to the warm under our roof
Definitely ready for pajamas and dream time

good dangerous

going to great lengths
over the times that made all these friends
on the same night remember who they are
doing the fun games that made us
decide to keep on experiencing the night
across the room you can see people shift
not that they knew the change that was coming
guessing was never the strong suit
equally true was the part about
realizing that a few saw the aura of the atmosphere
on the tiny minutes stage
uniting the scary experience that escapes notice
softly altering the mood of a lifetime
