Triple Catch 04 28 2021 nj
We catch ourselves
in a sense
nearly everyday
–
except when we are working hard
and have nothing
left to say
–
I don’t know
when I went wrong
was it just the other day
–
Not so sure
when I went bad
and surely fell from grace
–
There was a time
I turned around
and saw a blinding light
–
There was me
the fool I found
hiding in plain sight
–
those wasted years
those aimless days
my self-indulgent life
–
so to redeem
a triple fool
yeah that’s where I stood
–
older sense
I feel it all,
with love and gratitude

Where 04 27 2021 nj
Exhausted and disturbed
sights and sounds
the pictures don’t have time
to reflect
–
don’t pray empty prayers
you can still be
heard
going through the motions
–
the creator
the universe we live in
may not be
the same universe
–
but it isn’t a different one
either
the light years
the traveled time
–
we don’t know
where we are
in time
or in space
–
you are here
and there, a dot
on the spiral arm
of our galaxy

The old film projector
rattled along as the images
warbled on the screen
–
Believing the world will
happen before my eyes
while I safely watch from here
–
but I don’t know a thing
you have felt the quake
as we all did
–
lonely and nervous
people still make
your heart whisper
–
familiar gets lost
that is an overcast sadness
as afternoon dims away
–
I will drift forever
in unfamiliar streams
my roots are torn away
–
The film at least reminds
my sadness,
had some company once
