giving it a go

Post by saw » September 14th, 2018, 3:38 pm

toes in the sands of time
a rogue wave crosses my life
like a chance meeting with destiny
and I am immersed in all the possibilities
that come with the long distance rattle
of old photographs and letters, keepsakes
and seashells in a box of cardboard dreams
long forgotten in the ravages of wrinkles
and scars from the razor sharp bites
of the barracudas, moray eels, the
red snappers of ancient love affairs,
the good, the bad, and the ugly truth
of experimentation and shots fired
from the curvaceous hips that lead a man in
and it ain't nobody's fault and no one gets the credit
it's just what people do, one foot in front of the next
one leg at a time as we slip into the denim jeans
of giving it a go
here on this marvelous spinning orb
with few answers and many mysteries.
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Blue jean baby
Ya it’s all in the steps
Preparing for the moment
Of complete transformation
Not everyone craves that
Artists need that- cocoon butterfly thing
I think
I feel
Lovers are confusing
The memorial to a time gone by
Sometimes I mourn for that love
Or try a new way
That is daredevil beware
Ha ha ha
Great spirit is a comedian
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

yes great spirit is indeed a jokester
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
