Poetry Monday: Words

i’ve spent a lifetime searching for words
words for fun; words for play; the right words
the words i write are usually bad
sometimes they are great; sometimes they’re sad
i put too much thought in words i say
thinking of words makes me lose my way
sitting here alone with only words
i’ve spent a lifetime searching for words
time to stop searching; it’s time to speak

Land of the Free; Free to Die

We lose work in a crisis
The pandemic kills business
What do we do when we can’t
Afford food or pay our rent
Will the rich finally care
                                            No
I don’t think they ever will

The Break

The light hum from water falling
An event we always enjoyed
Maybe that’s all it ever was
Just a series of moments shared
Trapped in a fading memory
The downpour flooding me with thoughts
We will never dance in the rain
I’ll always dream of missed chances
I hope we’ll talk again one day
