Best Steady As She Goes Poems

Sunshine Eats Its Armor


Night is an old fish
deep in a dark sea
racing ever upward,
emerging into light

slow to eat more
yet steady as she goes
ever changing its tails,

seeking life anew
anticipating,
a future never known,

breaking against all
speeding into a mist
longed for by many,
desires on every list

Night is a new...

Sometimes I just want to say
I reckon it doesn’t matter any way

I remember once I watched a ghost
Fly into a soul and become the host

As darkness inhales clear blue sky’s
Mothers feeling their children’s cries

In a distant bar there is a singer who sings
As two more...

I turned the key,
pressed the gas pedal.
The motor belched
the starter grated.

“No. Not today!
I can’t be late.
I’m teaching the class.
I have to be there!”

Our three-year-old
piped up from the back seat,

“Try it again, Mom.”

The motor coughed, caught,
settled to a steady purr.
My little two-cylinder Fiat,
slow, but steady as...

Walking the asphalt of the city. Nothing floats on the air.
. All is quiet, seems dormant. 
Not a scream or any musical stream. 
Bunches of clean air is bare. Surreal like snatches or pieces
Of a dream newly dreamt. I am the only one roving at...

Floating in vacuum,
morphine intravenous supplied,
pain deadened,
she lies dormant, oblivious to all,
thoughts suppressed,
unfeeling and benumbed
in  the emergency cubicle.
 
Her husband holds her hand,
icy, like winter at its worst.
She moans, eyes flutter,
only to fall asleep again.
Anesthetized she finds rest.
Monitors bleep to rhythm,
steady as she goes just...

That day that stuck like glue,
hide your pride in the wind and let it go.
Redemption has found me relieved more than happy,
no fanfare or parade,
just get back in the shade.
Just get back in line for now's not the time to shine
but steady as she goes,...

I was going to change to the fast lane,
when abruptly the traffic flow ended,
red brake lights giving amber alerts say,
better slow down or you'll get hurt,

Follow the leader like a pied piper snail,
then stop and go like your delivering mail,
sit and wait patiently for some...

You can call me a fool,
If that's what you like.
But I won't accept,
This one size fits all life.

The media doesn't get to decide,
The size of every breath I take,
From this moment on,
My life is what I decide to make.

I won't bow down,
Even if I'm hit...

Journey


The waves on which we walk are a treacherous mountain pass.
Cavernous falls and crevasses, formed by an icy chill blast.
Never second guess your step, steady as she goes,
Patiently plotting you ascent through life’s snow.
Finally finding your paths the hard thing,
Now the snows melting and here...

I love an empty page, pristine and fresh,
Creating life, from its sanitized death,
Gently depress the pen, unto its silky sheet,
Hand rests comfortable, on the surface beneath.

Ink tentatively starts to flow, filling in blank space,
Blood pressure rises slightly, stepping up the pace,
Steady as she goes, the...

   Ecstasy was never meant for me ~

The path of life is criss-crossed 
with many intersections:

A fork in the road forces you 
to choose a diversion:
Ahead Left or 
Ahead right.

A T-junction has a Stop Sign.
Look Right, Look Left, 
No way forward,
Choose one or the other.

The U turn offers a way back
to unwind...

This courage swirls independently...
climate change without rehearsal...

Steady as she goes...
into the great unknown...

a needy disturbed force crumbles...

self awareness realized...
she knows what you say and do...

She knows there is no one else...
there is no one else like her...

...And all else are aware...

...aware of your needs...

...your failures...

...I...
