Everyday feels this way

Step outside and trails remain

Quite the same

A picturesque suburban town

Filled with lives passed over

Upon every threshold

~

Tonight we are blanketed

By crystals tossed as cold

Reminders of our own mortality

Stand outside and freeze

Well maybe thaw in a short

Time given the right resource

~

There I go again talking about the elements

An easy place to remain avoiding now

I’m a now kind of guy

Filled with inspiration

When the moment is right

Just seems that way that people say

~

Got the blues going on in my head

And traveling like a silly old fool

Wishing that I’d known you’d feel

The way you do today back when

I didn’t really know how to feel

Except to see you left me in a thrill

~

Quiet remorse is my barometer

Wincing to the cold air that shouts

I know you I know your game

Shrink away into the distant night

To wonder again about opportunity

And whether the time is right or gone

~

You see the aging process is happening

I look at you and instead of hoping

I realize that time’s keeper swept right by

Like a cold winter storm shuts down

The avenues of travel that help our lives

Continue to thrive in spirited envy

~

I guess I’ll say goodnight again to you

Wonder if ever when I think I’m blue

Could you be near my soul

Feeling as I do about who

We might have been, we could be then

A gentle breeze; my skin feels you
