That as I draw near,
He listens to words,
Despite rather dear,
And hold me at bay,
On shores and on cliffs,
Of things that I’ve lost,
And rather quite miss,
But change is ahead,
A future anew,
Something we’ve said,
Started again, a spark or a glimmer,
Of this thing up top,
And with any luck,
It says it will stop,
The pain and the worry,
The stress and the smoke,
The restless nights and the panic,
And all the unspoken,
But for a time,
I have yet to ponder,
If life is just coasting,
Along as I wander,
Through twists and the turns,
Of wind and the noise,
I know it’s a signal,
To just keep my poise,
But hey that’s just me,
A guy with a rhyme,
A place to sit down,
And memorize lines,
Of all that I’ve written,
And though I forgot,
It takes more than a ring,
A gift or store bought,
And I am okay, here and again,
But truly you know,
It’s boring again,
To say that I know it,
Inside or out,
In simplest of words,
It’s just a mere doubt,
And granted Lord knows,
I likely owe more,
It’s one step at a time,
And keeping up with the chores,
And washing and cleaning,
The phone calls and emails,
The texts and the news,
And with all these fails,
But each one is a mercy,
If you learn more each time,
I figure it’s perfect,
If I stop at this line.
