Discovery

It was hard for Jim to separate his yearnings from his emotions. 

He was young and just getting accustomed to the world around him.

There was so much to discover away from the nest.

Thrilling, and yet guilt-ridden.

Freedom waiting to be discovered.

Left Behind

Focus on being

A moment in passing

distractions left behind

farewell

Disappointment

Disappointment is the norm

no need to wait for things to get better

just accept what is

Blind

Our words blind us

Luck

Luck makes life interesting

Spice

Spice is the flavor of living

Moving with hope

Love would chance the streets

moving with hope

better tomorrows

paved from forgotten yesterdays

Unnoticed

Herbert was lost in his reading.

An antique himself

like the register he stood behind

when all came to a crashing end

he wouldn't even notice

Tragedy

Tragedy comes with government

actions of desperation

corruption at hand

Occupied

Fran kept her mind occupied

cluttered with things past

looking back was all she could do

trying to fill her own shoes

Drying Tears

The air filled with the foul smell of death.

A grey stench that clung to us.

A reminder of freedom lost...

Drying tears.

Apart

We were at war with ourselves

divided, hearts and minds apart

taking comfort in moments

passing into the unknown 

freedom for sale

Forgive

Forgiveness

sets us free

Stuck

When we stop moving

we're stuck where we are

Lost Within

We've lost ourselves

within our creations

Know Not

Cars passing in the distance

know not what awaits them

lost on the highway of time

Old Ways

Old ways

take you not

to new places

Difficulty

Difficulty vanishes with the flow

Deception

Deception is infinite

find your own way

Good

Look within for the good

Not Adding Up

When things don't add up

we look the other way

falling into lockstep

Out of Business

Business

the enemy of the state

was run out

Unnoticed

The change

now and then

passes unnoticed

Less to Carry

Letting go along the way

makes the journey easier

with less to carry

Troubles

Our troubles

begin and end

with us

Daring

It's up to the daring

to shape the future

Promises

The media promises much

yet delivers so little

most untrue

Outside

Freedom exists outside of the will of government

something so many have died for

Well Done

Everyone gone

alone to face the world

another campaign

well done

Go Around

We can't go around the fact

that we are the product of our fears

Face It

When we face ourselves

we are ready to face the world
