Take Two

As I walk thru life I live and learn Through laughter and tears I have created this being called me Action, inaction and reaction Dictate my course Blowing with the wind Lending an ear Spewing hot air Seeing what is not there What is beyond Feeling a moan from another Caressing away the pain Bringing someone to the edge Taking them over Leaving them behind Better than when they were found Anger and bitterness To recede with the tides The passing of time What is recalled Names etched in stone Others in the heart The chosen few inked in flesh The forgotten Scattered with the leaves of autumn Words without purpose Of forgotten regard A full glass and an empty bottle Worn out soles Kindred spirits But always the promise That tomorrow we can start anew
