We Persist

Let’s work our way
to the eye of the storm
that blew in like a whirlwind
of unmatched ferocity…

Surrounded on all sides
by swirling walls of external turmoil
we can rest and get our bearings
if we stop fighting friction conflicts

Bend with the breeze
that seeks to rip us apart
and it will if we let it
cause we’re ill equipped
to battle these forces head on…

Fortunately such adversaries
of high intensity
do tend to dissipate rapidly…

Unlike us who roll slow and steady…

Survivors of many a hard grind…

We’ll still be around
long after this challenge
has blown through…

It’s what we survivors do…

Mystery Tripping

Scrolling through coming attractions
to see where I need to be

Down this narrow corridor of tomorrow
the future is a maze of uncertainty

We roll moment by moment

Weave past history
into coherent memory

The good and the bad
form our life tapestry

What’s up next
for wandering us
is anyone’s guess

Best try and be ready

Shot Gun Love

On this road long traversed
with many a bump and turn
slowing us down along the way
you are the one chosen by destiny
for me to ride shotgun with…

It was always you…

It always will be..

A love for all eternity…

A love that soars above
the constraints of poetry…

Happily ever after
ain’t just a fairy tale ending…

It’s you and me…

All the way babe…

Raging Cow

Sparks fly off her flat screen
with a friction unmatched in nature…

Reigning down calamity
on today’s object of her ire…

A combustible text fire
that burns the eyes
and sears the very soul
of the toasted marshmallow
who lit the flame…
