untitled 729

 As if they’d never end

I can feel the end begin

Just as it did before

I walked out, shut the door

Won’t step foot there anymore


Flashbacking, backtracking

To warm water splashing

As the sand swirls

And I hold you close to me

Because I know it makes you feel

Like it makes me feel


Now it’s realer

And faces once familiar

Have become distant characters

In our memories of yesterday


Where was I?

Did I find what I tried to find?

Because in some ways I feel blind

To the thoughts of my younger mind


Somewhere in the meantime

I got caught up in this screen time

Lost the deeper meaning

Just following the street signs

He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
