PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

few darknesses mean so much

as those that have helped me

hold my head up high

the man upon the scaffolding

at the corner of the street

whistles softly as I, in turn

pass by

everyone carries with them

the need for letting bygones

pass through the occasional

by and by

'Thus Far' this method of life

surfing has not led me too far

awry

the pendulum of self moderation

carries with her a hefty price

for those who even dare apply

times defiance lets us glimpse

at the not yet known along side

each additional why

so, clever up each your once foolish

response my friend

to help get you passed the flooded

market of those who blindly try and

try

and stand with me even if only today

on this knot of puzzlement

as we each make our own form of

headway into life's not so perfect

realm of demand and supply

after all, we are all but mere wee

pigeons in each of the earth's parks

pecking at the pavement

looking for a few insignificant bread

crumbs

whether they be wet or dry..............
