The Recurring Dream

 After a while, need something to intervene

Even though the scene is not called upon,

The Nighttime Circus puts on its show.

Freewheeling, never concluding.

Funny how the production never fails,

To repeat and resurface without a queue.

Falling from the sky, free falling is…

As exuberant as the initial showing.

Pressing on the brakes of a quick moving car,

Only to press down to the floor.

How to stop? The cinema moves to a different time and place,

Or awakeness interrupts.

Carry on my repeating photoplay maybe

Just maybe, the final tale will reveal

Who's pushing the buttons behind the enormous playhouse shroud.

With All Good Intentions

 

Achieves a lot of attention.

May it be worthy or meddling,

decidedly with forthright good nature.

Lending a hand in times of crises.

Delivering goods to eat, offering monetary

assistance giving, caring advice.

Whether soft or hard message

candor, is never derailed.

Feeling stung by a bee? maybe…

Hail sincerity, never ambiguity.

The Time Will Come

 

Sometimes we all live in denial.

Brush off today, tomorrow is another day.

What may be lurking behind the passing

Is the matter at hand with a rude arrival.

Heed not the presentation but remember 

The calendar never runs out of days.

Turn the face to the complication then,

Deliver the remedy without delay.

Two Hands on the Wheel

In most cases it is a big deal.

With all the twists and turns

The road sometimes gives no warning.

One hand can be steady then suddenly,

A gust of wind can jolt the track

Does no good, to look back.

Adjusting for another means, two hands on the wheel.

Considering the notice, should be heeded.

Sooner or later a twist or turn might present some concern.

If by one, a dilemma is introduced, dictates direction.

Late response offers little interception.

Roadway seems threatening, counterpoise is imperative.

Dually handed, regains course firmly in control.                                                                                

Dodging a tailspin needing to regain composure,

The wheel has spoken.

A Stone Wall

  A Stone Wall

 

May easily lead to a

       downfall

Hardness that prevents

       penetration

Challenges the will to

       carry on

The mere essence of

       stonework

Defies the average

       roadblock

Is it worth

       climbing?

Can one go

       around?

Strength and insight from

       within

Speaks to the human

       capacity

Finding another way will save

       the day

Will the new direction

       deliver…

Or be a pivotal foregone-

       Conclusion?

Getting Old'ing

Never a small thing.

Step by step passing Spring,

Flexibility of all sorts now, mostly sting.

Sharpness of mind vastly fleeting.

Interests once most important: dulling.

Beloved soul mate, no longer holding.

Family distant and not forthcoming.

The forlorn ground rules,

Commands the callous diminishing.

When You're Young

When You’re Young

Everything is totally fun.

Experiencing life for the first time

Defining yourself is taking shape.

Innocent loves, jobs and friendships,

Come and go within the twenty-four.

When you’re young, the consequences hit hard,

Or bypass by a hair.

Carefree attitudes on living can spill over easily,

As camouflaged confidence.

When you’re young, what may have been instilled, in due time

Can take its toll exposing truths

When all is fully distilled.
