Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
My
Insecurities
Drag
Down
My
Soul
Fatherhood’s delights
Youth doing amazing things
Such satisfaction
The saxophone plays
I picture women, dancing
With suit clad men
Echoes from the Beats
And their Bebopping
Friends
Some draw
Strength from
Passion
Others from
Tranquility
Both are not
Only valid
But critical
Every time we learn
A candle is lit
Against the darkness
Every time we teach
A Sun is lit
Burning that darkness
sad how often
I struggle
seeking what’s
in my
heart
Clothes,
Simply…
Just clothes
Arguments burst forth
And I cant….
Children fighting
Like this thing
Defends innocent
Lives
No willingness to
Give, to attempt
Anything outside
The preconceived
“I won’t find
ANYTHING” in this
Place I’ve not yet
Seen.
Frustrated at my
Failure…
No understanding or
Trusting in my
Experience
All I’ve done
All I am;
Worthless
I am tired
Seeking elegance
Not a garish consumption
But deep quality
Seeking out balance
I am the light and the dark
Embracing the Zen
Oh teriyaki!
Your sweet, delightful flavor
So many choices
