New Wings (+2)

Explain the words

and all freedom is gone

Slicing and dicing

enslaved to the throng

Meaning depends

upon whom and what’s heard

Evolving new wings

—each reader a bird

Let It Go

 

Make sure you know

what you’re trying to say

 

But let readers figure it out

— for themselves

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

 

 

It's Best

 

Sometimes

it’s a very good idea

to cry

 

Sometimes

hello the opening act

of goodbye

 

Sometimes

what you think about

is not what you know

 

Sometimes

the reason to come

the best reason to go

 

Sometimes

when cresting the hill

the view doesn’t change

 

Sometimes

when cresting the hill

your destiny claimed

 

Sometimes

when music enthralls

the poetry flows

 

Sometimes

when music enthralls

there’s nothing to sow

 

Sometimes

a wish in the wind

beats two in the well

 

Sometimes

the harder we pray

the closer to hell

 

Sometimes

 just what you ask for

is just what you’ll get

 

Sometimes

when hope has been lost

— it’s best to forget
