Shades of Blue
Sometimes my words roll out in waves
like grass that's kissed by wind from cranes
who rise up on a sheet of wind...
Rhymes come to bless me on a whim...
On other days I must go out
into the ravenous array,
and hunt my dinner down with tools,
and weapons of personal choosing...
You feel it on the air sometimes
just how the world gets with it's hoarding...
Will we approach this march of dimes,
or die beneath boarded up planks?...
I'm not sure which will be our fate,
I just know that I feel a pulse,
and there is something new and sure
emerging from the dewy blades...
Sometimes my words roll out in waves
like grass that's kissed by wind from cranes
who rise up on a sheet of wind...
Rhymes come to bless me on a whim...
I feel the sickly sweet descent
of falling leaves where blow-hards puff
themselves into a royal knot...
Their eyes bulge wide where horses trot,
and bandits of the world press on,
while those in blind-folds pay the price...
I know that life continues off
the map that some deluded prince
dreamed up to keep a good man down...
Gets hard to flail or move around...
...But maybe in this time of trials
where famine reigns, and truth gets filed
under the guise of worn out shoes
we'll find lost life midst shades of blue.
