the taste of guinness
the taste of guinness
sits softly inside my head
saturday ev’nings
2018
gaze into the sky
gaze into the sky
and stare night’s holdings
a state of wonder
visiting with birds
visiting with birds
drifting down just to leave again
espresso delights
with a gentle push
with a gentle push
trees leaning with the wind
a bird flys away
an afternoon breeze
an afternoon breeze
carrying sounds of summer
blossoms in sunlight
fading of the light
fading of the light
that once beacon in the dark
what have we become
to live in the world
to live in the world
as the salt and as the light
the stories you’ll tell
how far will we fall
how far will we fall
as a once great nation
history watches
what are we become
what are we become
wrapped up in self righteousness
imprisoned children
casting of shadows
casting of shadows
the break of sun through the trees
a lantern awaits
