But Not Today

Poem .... But Not Today

It will happen
But not today
When words are spoken
Of yesterday

Those times as one
We looked ahead
Our separate worlds
Not yet to dread

Still it will come
It's on the way
We drift to the stars
But not today

Our minds hold tight
Those words in our heart
As days slip past
This journey we chart

That feeling we know
Is heading our way
Of walking alone
But not today

Back Through the Years

Poem ... Back Through the Years

Looking back through the years
The laughter and the tears
The grandiose plans
The tiny little fears

It seems so simple now
Just speak the truth
And breathe fresh air
Avoid the aloof

But it was written
Each word we spoke
Seemed so serious
Played out as a joke

I look at blue sky
And bird in song
And know we're together
Moving right along

Those years are gone
In memory still
To guide our journey
Our joy to fulfill

Dancing to the $

Poem

Dancing to the $

Where to go
What to do
When they say
Old soft shoe

Buy this
Use that
You look good
In new hat

Can't see beyond
Driving new car
With that new money
We go far

Printing, printing
Money press
It is our God
That we must bless

No longer Belong

Crow flying
Into the mist
Chanting these words
You will not be missed

Whale singing
Into the blue
Not much longer
Your days are through

Wolf howling
A wolfish song
Your dominance on Earth
Won't be here long

Did they love us
Those we possessed
Not very likely
The way we transgressed

So they will be
Singing their song
Words getting louder
Humans no longer belong
