Riding my bike
Swimming for hours
Drowning
The voices
Swirling in my head
The ability lost
Can’t push them away
Why can’t I change?
Holding me back
Want to move forward
Hearing the calls
Louder and louder
Surround me
All around
Pushing
Pulling
A frantic escape
Breathing hard
Gathering steam
No more fighting
Making peace
A healing
A wanting
A knowing them all
The year 2025
The date 20 August
An opportunity lost
A releasing of an idea
Revisiting a possibility
A wanting with no fear.
How would it be?
Would it look different now?
The two of us together
Thinking of you
What could have been
Will it never be?
Why couldn’t we be?
Would it be strange?
How would people react?
Would we care?
Would we laugh?
Cry?
Would it affect us?
I’d like to think not
An energy released
A corner turned
The baggage we carry
The year 2025
The date 13 August
Muffled
Trying to come through
Distractions
Reactions
Clawing my way through
So many levels
Heightened
The hanging on the door
Finding nothing
Laughing
Screaming
Reaching
Confusing
Up
Down
Attention to detail
Losing it
Lost it
Trying to find
A balance
A sense
A making of it all
Release me
Let me go
Will I hit the ground?
The dying
The dead
Responsible for it all
Can you take me
Love me
Through it all
The year 2025
The date 29 September
Deportation
Naturalization
Belonging
Not belonging
Longing to stay
Working through
The mess
Are they listening?
Are we listening?
Trapped
Targeted
Bullied
Released
Tell me your story
I’ll tell you mine
Senseless
Jobless
Reaching too high
Feel exposed
The blink of an eye
Watch me
For me
Stand the test of time
The year 2026
Early January
Embarking on a new path
Less traveled
More visible
Only one
Timeline
Fruition
Thought process
Equal measure
Make a point
Let it rest
Spoken word
Only once
Camaraderie
Companionship
Hardened
Silent
Strength in numbers
Symmetry
Dancing with light
Floors
Rehearsal
You’ll want it all
Be there
Be ready
The time is drawing near
Alert
Cautious
Know the ins and outs
Read the faces
Offer advice
Be prepared
There is only one you
Do it well
Wear it well
Take on things
You’ve never thought possible
A new road approaches
The year 2025
The date 6 July
Speak
Listen
A voice
Beyond
Tell me
Why?
Why?
Why?
Scared
Lonely
In pieces
Missing
Revival
Slaying the dragon
Reception
Trigger
All encompassing
Laughter
Tears
An ending
A beginning
Wish me well
I’ll visit often
Come to see me
I’ll be here
It’s a spiritual monument
And it’s me
The year 2025
The date not given
Beloved son and musician
Never more
Always that
Never to be
Husband
Father
Grandfather
What could have been
Will never be
The sadness
I see
The way you wished it to be
Can’t change
Do things over
Who would have thought
No more time
Fighting
Tempers
Tears
Appeasing the tide
Always with me
Always alone
Cling to the memories
Bringing of peace
Let me go
Seeing me through
To the other side
Too young
The year 2025
The month June
Thinking of you
Like to remember
Do You?
1985
Summer
Blurred
A club
On Audubon?
A dance
Intimate
Moving in rhythm
A connection
A spark
A future
Just an instant
Remembering
A sudden release
The door
A car
Left
Or ran?
Time
Eclipsed memory
I wonder
Thinking of you
Thinking of me
All this time
A shared memory
What could have been
Will the fates lend a hand
Asked
Wait and see
The year 2025
A date not mentioned
Too close to home
A lion in heaven
A strong roar of strength
Magic untapped
Transferred
I’m here
Always watching
Always aware
Comings and goings
A glimpse of the past
A radiant future
A desert
A plain
The Serengeti
True love
A lion roars
The world hears
A gift
Unmeasurable
By space or time
Whisper to me Mama
In your darkest despair
A son will listen
Always listens
The sound of your voice
Is it calling me home
Or anchoring me in place?
The year late 2025
Before 24 Dec
The tip of the iceberg
Win some
Lose some
Learning
Presenting
Blazing a trail
Working
Reworking
Organizing
Following your heart
Always
Always
Always
Your instincts
Few will follow
Stand the test of time
Forward
Passion
A soldier in the mist
Emerging
Armed
Ready to fight
You’ll be the one
Shoot from the hip
No one better
For the next round
Learned
Learn
Learning
Keep pace with your soul
This is just the tip of the iceberg
The year 2030
The ancients will return
Mothers
Fathers
Sons
And daughters
Reclaiming the land
From which they came
New ways
Old ways
Respect and grandeur
Thanking
Working
Restoring
What had been lost
Dig deep
Unearth the past
Will lead to the future
Glass and bone
Sharing responsibility
Flow through the earth
Forming an alliance
Past
Present
Future
Mixed
A renewal of spirit
A renewal of life
Corn, Beans, Squash
Where it all began
The past will clear the path
The year unknown
The date 14 May
Reaching past a solemn promise
Communal commitment
Shadows form
A resilience encroaches
Safety
Not safe
Not really
Not yet
Place all the blame
On the spirits that call us
Regard
No
Respect
Not really
Suffering
Antidote
Venomous
Wretched
A place
Nowhere near
What I thought it might be
Strangers
They recognize
The good in me
My best
Regards to the living
To those I love best
It’s been quite the journey
Now I can rest
A chuckle
A sigh
That’s all you get
Know to do the rest
