plaguing down, right in purpose

strengthened to arms, onward the thirst is

move together as one, move with solid constitution  

never give in, do not let up now

painful regress, triumphant gaining

overthrow the tyrant, none will replace them

plaguing down, right in purpose

strengthened to arms, onward the thirst is

move together as one, move with solid constitution  

never give in, do not let up now

painful regress, triumphant gaining

overthrow the tyrant, none will replace them

through the trees, down the hall
tempted to stride, upward the call
good speed, too little distance
dreams soar, and I learn what must come
been down today, I've seen it enough
trip, slip, fall, stumble, this is odd, only the humble
get back on rising now, flight is in my blood
the sky is the determining factor, my mind only the cancer
doing is done, proving the proof, calling the answer.

pure, great, full, large

joy blazing, infectious star

Invigorating life, everlasting love

comprehend not the darkness does

blissful shine, righteous burn

come out of your chamber

light up the world

pure, great, full, large

joy blazing, infectious star

Invigorating life, everlasting love

comprehend not the darkness does

blissful shine, righteous burn

come out of your chamber

light up the world

understanding lacking

foolish heart trusting

in just being

but not pursuing

the prize won't come

changes must be made

nothing is for free

except contentment in the journey

sweepin sleeting driving bleating

no end, no sight, no depth, no hearing

open close, stay or go

press on away, press on slow

fight or flight, jump or skip

finish light, finish quick

I went down, then came up
I asked the wrong question
I got the right answer
pushed asunder by my own hand
rejected from my shifting constitution
give a bit, lose to much
gain terra, win the moment
plowed rut, no good, wanted anew
trudge along, pathway primed
slowly but true.

up now, then down

right side up, but backwards

fallen, falling, fell, feeling

dust off, the dirt matters little

what experience isn't teaching

pain surely will

learn or die, survive and thrive

up and running again

don't look back, straight ahead to purpose

this or that, drown this, dredge that

swirl it around like wine in a glass

perspective here, feeling there

unwelcomed flood of memories past

welcome now a fresh desire

around and under, over thoroughly

no concrete clarity, but now singularity

I am what I told you

nothing has changed

I have become and am becoming

that is for me, I hold the blame

For tomorrow is distant

but I will not wait

tomorrow is a lie, never present always coming

today's finality echoes in the future

make it count, for truth's sake, make haste while you are still running

committed, commitment

required, requirements

push, pull, beg, borrow

thrive, drive, stall, start

get up, fall down, again and again

I will to rise against worse judgment

I will break but not be broken

I will go on, even till death

I will keep the fire the flame the desire even in descent

humorless, funny, silliness without jesting only daggers
sharp as swords, heavy as a ten pound hammer
dull when false, but like dynamite when on bullseye
off the cuff, precise as a fist landed on the nose in a fight
but light when right, and strong when is needed a wrong
fun for all but the target, unless too broad the fall
try but not try again, right in the moment, wrong for the meek and aloof men
droll and witty, biting and bitten, all is lost know, another one is coming.
