Short Redone Poems

And if I said
Let’s begin again
Would it be too much
To be redone
Or would I be stuck
In those few days
Soon after we 
Had begun...

Rapidly failing so many things
Not caring
Just observing

Truly wonderful to have this
carefree easy floating 
beyond the horizon side of myself

You did this wrong.
Okay
Seriously
I know

But aren’t you ashamed.
No because I know I can redo it.
Almost everything man-made can be redone.

And I do not have to worry
about the God-made things....

Wanting to be older
When you're young
Be able to do everything
That hasn't been done
Go to new places
That haven't been seen
And make things real
That you used to dream

Now you're older
Wishing you were young
Thinking about all the things
You wish could be redone
Now you go to places
You've already seen
And now you wonder
Why you no longer dream...

There sat in my chair, a sighting
when the earth quivered no delighting.
Out the window I watched it flow;
down the grade, heaps, icy snow.
The mask of skiers not revealed;
rescue workers rushed in to unseal.
They scattered about with their tools in hand,
dug for life that had a plan.
In all that commotion I did see'
deep the emotion when skiers were freed....

From the hill we could see it. Like the owners through the years, it had changed. The trees had grown taller the paint had been redone, twice. Still you could feel it. It lurked in the eyes blinking from the windows. Majestic. The home had survived the highs and lows of every soul that had walked through its doors. 

Old empty mansion 
rain pelting the fine rooftop, 
impenetrable....

A Dodge from X:

A thin layer of synthetic skin grips with poise 
As small plastic fingers grasp on to the blades of grass
A shoulder raised
Ready to embrace
Steps retraced, redone
A swift move of confidence 
Feet planted, and a shoulder pointed
Arms raised
They pull through to the back pocket
The body soon to follow
Rung off the pipe
A corner painted
A goal scored

A dodge from X...

If you have ever redesigned before, 
You have redone your floor.

It could be carpet, wood or tile,
Really whatever is your style.

Outback, you can refashion the deck,
It really looks like a wreck.

Call me at my store
And I will meet you at the door.

My samples I will bring,
We can have it installed by Spring.

Guarantee, they never looked so good.
I can do it at my house, I think I should....

Tinkling, twinkling, violin picking, harp stringing, 
 light the blue sky, the snow on rocky cliffs
 the heaviness of his lies weigh like the rocks
 on a cold empty hill in winter 
 the sounds thick and sticky
 how the tinkling violin strings call out
 the harps lightness raises my heart 
 and lightens the heaviness of his  
 spiteful soul stinging, while hearing News
 twinkling sounds drive away his angry darts...
