It's people repeating history

A path, that twists, and turns, and, never ends.
While life stays motionless, but hours still make a silent, repeating, tick.

The immediacy of time,
its reference untold

The beginning repeating,
not young—and not old

to play musical chairs - 
how I do recall!

I kept repeating
changing seating
'til there were none at all.

Once there was a colorful bird
A parrot repeating what’s heard
Really was all fun
Till it heard a gun
Mimicking sounds so disturbed

Will showcase guns made for repeating
A coward would know
To put on a show
So Trump will speak instead of tweeting

Being a Stabbot is hard work,
finding the ones that need stabbing
and repeating the tedious task
just cause that was how I was programmed.

Lost, destination undefined
On a search for something I'll never find
Repeating reflection, endless time line
A place of unexsistance, a desired state of mind.

Repeating doubts
Squashed between
Brackets in my 
Head; they clog
The free-flow!

Freedom to let
My mind wander
To and fro,
Like it does
When I'm happy!

Geminid

Galactic and fleeting
Galvanic completing
Gone, never repeating
Geologic receding
Glowing and preceding
Glyphs that they were reading
Gnosis they were leading

Hope In Every Day

Nature is not inherent
of repeating itself,
creating masterpieces.
She has a new sound every day
Every sunrise doesn't the same
the sunrise of the previous day.

Premium Member PATTERNS of LIFE

chain by chain
 in generation's pattern
of lives past
we wait 
&
wait in line
repeating 
  mistakes
treading
 the same circle
imagining
 progress is reality

My Wife

I get tired
i get so tired

now that's not
exactly the same

so i can't say
i get tired

of repeating
myself again

i get tired
so very tired

The Old Year

The old year is quickly retreating,
Its memories wispy and fleeting.
Though there’ll be a new start
I know deep in my heart
My mistakes I’ll, of course, be repeating.

First Cut

Knowing  
  not repeating

The weakness
  of all refrain

A first cut
  true and deepest

Once healed
  —its scar remains

River Jordan

Everyday I wake, I bathe in the river Jordan: taking with me the dirtiness from the yesterdays. Repeating the same sins, that were never washed clean. Reenacting the past and all its ways.

snow
drifts down
from heaven

ice
frozen
in glaciers

melts
into
the ocean

sun
calls back
to vapor

clouds
