Overdraft is a bad habit
like an addiction to alcohol
that cause toxic waste
with all the excessive
spending to give away
with a loss of mind
a sense of guilt
feeling a shared burden
to go broke overnight
shocking news comes
in tears of flow and
heart of attack
with a warning sign
a lesson not to forget
never to be careless
to always stay on track
for financial advice

It was a day
When thin delicate
Butterflies
Dared to fly

And trees could
Worship the sun
And leaves could
whisper the wind

And currents could move
In a profusion of ways:
Wind, light, and water
Playing their rapture

It was a day
When high soaring gulls
Could silently slice sky

I know nothing now
and I knew nothing then
about love and relationships
how they begin, how they end
far be it from me
to start over again
in all of it's agony
love is a trend
a thing briefly passing
just like the wind
your lovers will lie to you
on your knee you will bend
inevitably it comes
to an inglorious end!

I know nothing now
and I knew nothing then
about love and relationships
how they begin, how they end
far be it from me
to start over again
in all of it's agony
love is a trend
a thing briefly passing
just like the wind
your lover's will lie to you
on your knee you will bend
inevitably it always comes
to an inglorious end!

You were a very good friend,
and we should have stayed that way.
But the more we tried for more it wasn’t good.

In the end, I could never decide
if it was the awkwardly lovely way of protesting
with your whole body when I teased you,
or your kindness I missed the most.

I always thought I'd go out west
during the early weeks of fall
and roam Rocky Mountains in a quest
for antelope, mule deer, elk and all.

But I must wait 'till school is done
my priorities were clear and set.
There's no hunting under summer's sun.
My time to go was not here yet.

And still I dreamed of aspen's gold
but there was work that must be done
building a business, truth be told
along with marriage and first son.

I'm not in love
And that is okay
I always say these words
Like I'm trying to recite a poem
And then write it
But I stop there
I say these words with a very empty mind
An empty heart and no emotion at all
For right now, like most of the time
I'm not in my feelings about anyone
I'm not sobbing about anyone
Or dreaming about anyone
It's just me and my very blunt feelings
Not bothered, untampered with
When you feel this way,
Do you call it peace or loneliness?

Blue Skies,
From here to the horizon,
On a day like today.

The sun on the frost glistens,
A time to observe and a time to listen.

Mother Nature calls out for an eager ear,
“What can I do today to help you see
The changing tides of lyrical Harmony?”

The sky in the trees is full of sound,
And once our awareness comes to fruition,
We see how nature displays creation,
All in the light of a beautiful day,
Pointing us forward in the direction of
peace,
Something that all of us can easily receive.

We are the same
When I bleed,
When you bleed,
The colour does not change,
We are all the same,
We love,hurt and feel ...the same.

Let's remember that
