Free Agent Gone

FREE AGENT GONE

Fossil Machine
Plays the flute
In a childs gathering
As he contemplates
Days ahead
Will he score at will
Will he remain wonderous
Will he choose an avenue
Unbeknown to him today
At the twilight of his
Distance from
His workings of
Plentitude and
Happiness for the
Future children
In a place that he knows and
Sends smiles across the faces
Of a multitude
Until that time
That legacy riles into his
Fosterings of defeat
And worries of
What will they say
When he is old and
Unable to throw the basketball
Through the hoops
That daily visit his
Graces

Fortuitous pirates on the average Joes breakfast plate
   Eat decisions of grandeur that were handed out by

    As a method for which none could measure
Their own ways that were theirs to improve
    Anyone is able to change their day

FIRE BEFORE YOUR EYES

Peaks contour our lives with better eye levels
     For the windows of livery choose our days with malice
A dreidle spins in the afterglow of a tin soldier
      In days gone by a new hope arises to spell discourse

Take three pleasures that inspire you to dwell with agility
      In matrimony may you find the glow you seek in the light of
Three pleasures that distanced themselves from your mind and
      Surfaced in the bottom of your soul to bring you chills

The day is not spent
In fruitless endeavors
Unless there is another place

Another home
Somewhere else

Be able to return
To where you once were
In the morning

Organized Religion

ORGANIZED RELIGION

Oval urns of justice
Speak good will in turn
I see three fantastic days of hope
Bordered by an urn of majesty

In solemn times of despair
A truce is met in the basement of laughter
I see temptation in a handmaids basket of heresy
If there is survival
What is there for the daisies?

Find there three ways of justice
But taste one method of pull
In One voice may we prosper
But with many do we endure

Beethoven's Musical Moon

BEETHOVEN'S MUSICAL MOON

Affix the opening with a pleasure
In the trust of a poet is there a lamp
I do buy trust in a day to come
Bless that which is coming from our hope

Inside a watch shines
A time of patience
To buy position in a maze of quietude
There is three stars of sound
