Hazy Acres

Shifts each day 

One way as I saw it

The other way as it could be 

If I am doubting 

What I have become 

These actions are needed

Solidifying the way 

Away from the sucking sounds 

Those kinds of people 

Buried so far below 

Themselves 

As I dig around 

Finding holes with treasure 

Looking back to see 

An empty horizon 

My heart plays notes 

My mind reads it wrong 

Then a dance occurs 

One step too many 

To the left

Back to the right 

Twisting and twirling 

Circling around the center 

Hiding from the midnight vultures 

Waiting with their trick cards 

Seeing the games ahead of time 

Playing to change 

Playing for the heart 

Quitting to preserve whats left 

In Time 

Wearing time 

Like a favorite sweater 

Can’t hide the miles 

Or the lines 

Beautiful revelations in an aging truth 

Singing pleasant melodies 

In a hum 

By a waterfall 

With the right people 

Safely warm 

Honest in their scars 

There are no trails to the other system 

Built on fabrications 

They have the highest towers 

Our winds will crash them 

Eventually 

I’ve let go

To be brought in 

Seeing enough to know 

This does not go here

You do not go here 

In the circle
