Peace calm and serenity
like three half sisters
avoid most of us
until late in life
late in life when
deep sighs and memories
replace adventures and battle
cries things to prove
and places to go
these three half sisters
appear from the mist
of our most broken
never have been’s and
never ever will be’s
the three half sisters
only ever carry mirrors
reflecting to only us
what all we did
and what we didn’t
and what there is
now left to do

Good
Life lived experience gained
all is only good
imagine that all being
good imagine if we
accepted that everything no
matter its outcome is
good
Imagine what our lives
could be like imagine
good just as everything
failure good success good
broken hearts good too
What if all is
too good to imagine
good
Hookup
Suddenly things became important
what was wasn’t enough
there was a need
to know more now
names ages and jobs
suddenly all became relevant
making me wonder why
why now not just
now but right now
when before before when
desires flame was ignited
by fantasy and expectation
it never even mattered
now maybe I thought
that behind his eyes
which looked into mine
we might be thinking
there might be something
more than this hour
this one small hour
one small insignificant hour
HowIHadToDo
I had finally realized
that the ground beneath
my feet was barren
incapable of bearing fruit
so I laid waste
to everyone I knew
marched to the bridges
connecting me to them
and set them ablaze
next it was fields
and finally my home
It was then I
knew that everything I’d
known was finally gone
enriching the earth itself
preparing it and me
for the next harvest
Promises
At this my long
in the tooth phase
I know that plans
and promises are as
unlikely to be kept
as an explorer spinning
a tale in order
to receive favor from
his king boasting of
a brave new world
Sometimes people do stay
true pointing to their
horizons but those are
likely only the adventurers
and the truly courageous
