Damn Moon


Pages fall from the calendar,
like leaves on a Red Oak
in mid-September.

Friends come and go,
with the same hopes
that they'll be remember .

Another one has come and gone.
As hard as it gets,
I don't feel alone.

I think I can go, a few more rounds
I'm gonna keep pushing up,
so nothing holds me down.

Who'd I show love,
who did I show not?
When they were hungry...around
my table, i can't find a spot?


Ashes to ash, dust to dust.
To many we love, too few
do we trust.
This is the question we'll be asked,
 not one but all of us.

Look, look at the damn moon...

Short Road


Cut down so hard,
run hard so long.
It twas such a short trip,
till you went home.

It started out so bleak,
sometimes it got rough.
You,
held your head up, that's
that's what made you
so tough.

That which I live by...by that I will die. 


Not sure how that works now.
BUT, one thing for sure...


we all gonna die...

Live by?

Today


Time stood still five years ago, 
 since then I guard my heart 
cause, you never know.
That one second froze time...
for some years and months,
others only days.
For some, today will pass
like a smoky haze.

Please, stop look at the smile on his face,
the twinkle in his eye.
He loved hard, he played hard,
and he worked hard.
Can't you hear him say with a smile and a sigh...
"Don't worry. It's gonna be okay. Make a memory, share a memory. TODAY!

River's

River's of worry,
power of pain!

The groaning inside  me,
goes even deeper again.


My need for drink,
is not the same.


Desert water, urban rain.
What life's
formed in me.

Is hard to contain...
river rain...
