One of these Days

One of these Days

That boy is going to get hurt one of these days;
and if he's not careful it will be soon.

He's up on the ladder,
no one beneath him,
watching to make sure it's stable.


He's gonna fall one of these days;
if he's not careful soon.

Cause he's out into traffic,
not paying attention,
head always in a book.


He'll be gone one of these days;
because he's not careful.

Since he's playin' with hearts,
not watchin' his own,
it will turn on him when it breaks.

Getting it Done.

Getting it done.

Getting it done
doesn't have to be a hard thing.
It doesn't even have to be a thing at all.

We trust in others to do
what we know ourselves
we can do.

And we wait for magic realignment
for things to be just right,
before we can even dare take a step.

But jump, and leap, and do!
It's not a thing, you can't trust others, and it won't align.
But hey, you knew that didn't you?

Thanks Molly

Thanks Molly

Thank you for the money you gave me,
but thank you more for the time you spent:
to listen- hear- remember my story.
It was the moment we took with each other
how you stopped and we
con(re)versed.
How I watched you go, with a smile on your face
onward leaving me there
because I knew I had to stay.
the coffee keeps me warm
but less than other things.

Thanks,
Molly

If you're found in the Ocean (3)

If you're found in the Ocean (3)

Hold,
be bold,
remember what you're told,
because you'll want to remember
how to get back to me again.

If you're lost in the Ocean (2)

If you're lost in the Ocean (2)

Rip.
Tide.
Run.
Hide.
You can keep it.
Don't fear I'll take it back.
The time will come when you need it.
And so will the time when we can share it.

If you're lost in the Ocean (1)

If you're lost in the Ocean (1)

Shifting.
Changing.
Rearranging.
Everything physical can and will wear.
But keep and covet a tiny place in time for me.
