Long Shadows 3:23 PM

Illuminate the past and give hope above all

While casting long shadows of doubt against the wall

To ponder the future as we trudge the long haul

Weathered Stones 1:59 AM

Indecisions mount up like weathered stones

Cast along the edge of the open field

Irresolutions that never seem to yield

Answers to questions I should have outgrown

Conclusions that continuously collide

Like the rock and plough and the driver's means

Hesitations that internally contravene

With abstract ideals that I've built up inside

The Calm of Confess 1:01 AM

The wick, it is burning, it flickers and wanes

It's extinguished beneath the pool from the blaze

The heat from the flame melts my soul just the same

As I try, to push further in vain

Cast my emulsion of sweat and success

On the floors of conceit and self consciousness

And as my soul cools in the calm of confess

I will try, to embrace this meekness

The Order of Things 12:39 AM

She starts with the sun
And the bright golden beams
Then fills in the trees and the grass.

She draws in a face
And the body to trace
Then adds in some humorous things.

She paints in the sky
With the clouds blowing by
Then hands me the picture with pride.

These are the order of things.

The Problem's Mine 9:52 PM

Waging war with thoughts unspoken

Taking arms to guard our pride

Whispering words we lace with poison

To collide or will we hide?

Mincing tones with which we wrangle

Clenching blades we've held up high

Then at once our fits untangle

I realize the problem's mine.

Remain 11:23 PM

If the coming days are quite predictable

Or certain outcomes unforeseeable

Help me remain.

If the twilight hours bring unquenchable darkness

Or the break of dawn utter joyousness

Help me remain.

If these anxious thoughts o'erwhelm me to riot

Or yield my soul disquiet

Help me remain.
