Begending

Our realities are made up
By the worlds we surround
Ourselves with and I find myself
Settling as a house might
Crackling and burrowing
Into the ground

Maybe I’m just tired
Of keeping up or possibly
Creation knowing full well
There could be more
In some other place
In some other way
This is not it
This is not all
That there is

Halfway mark
Feels like a dead end
Maybe all that can be
Accomplished is already
I’m not sure what will be
Longer or shorter
Revel in the new
Forget about the future
Fishbowl

When we scratch off
The top layers and
Keep finding our way down
Do we have a place to
Go or end up
Keep going
Start over
Keep going
Maybe nothing

Sweet voices
Of children
Just beginning

Today felt like
An ending
So early

Cup of Tea

I want it to last
But it feels like
It will end
I want it to last
But I can feel
It closing in
Hopelessness
Forgiveness
Slippery perfection
I want it to last
But it feels like
It will end
Candles burning
Outer space
Is next door
When I know
The end begins
One chord
Two chords
Three wheelhouses in
We can stand under
The light
Even though it’s
Going to end
For as long
As you like
One cube
Two cubes
Three sugars in
Cup of tea with me now
Even though it’s
Going to end
We can have
Time at the beach
On the boardwalk
In the moonlight
Watch the sun descend
Out of our reach
At sunset
Tick toc
I see the clock
Turning and
Clicking till the end
Along the way
It won’t be long now
Before the miracle
Will end
Let’s enjoy this moment now
For as long as
We can
