Steps Beyond Stagnation
Inertia's whispered promise: stagnation's dark shroud We risk being lost in the undertow of untaken steps Not all of us will wear the mantle of wealth But inaction's chill grasp, we can all be poor Education's radiant light may not illuminate every path Yet, without effort, ignorance's heavy chains can bind us all Love's sacrament, marriage, may elude some of us But...

Yes, I know
It’s really quite hard I was dealt a bad hand Nothing written in the cards And I don’t have a plan I couldn’t make this up I couldn’t if I tried I guess this is the point That I’m at in my life I’m batting for first base And I’m back at square one Always end up in this place When I think that I’m done I’m...

The Resolution Door
Back against "The Resolution Door" the first thing that hits you is the depravity, then self-loathing follows close behind. Then just when hoping the first thought was getting better. That you're getting the upper-hands and there can't be too much longer. The head goes light, as the light goes out. When the lights come on, reality sets in. Obstructed by...

The rocks on the sea bed Can be friendly in storms When our sails are bedraggled Or all tattered and torn From our voyage on seas Often left unexplored But there's truth in the water That cannot be ignored In the wind is the Spirit An adventurer's friend So we move in directions To where searching may end There are hazards aplenty As the salty air calls There's that...

Stagnation
In a dream, I was on a mission. A mission to rescue a nation. A nation in a quagmire. A quagmire not as usual. A high mountain, I had to climb. Climb it, in its nakedness. Nakedness and grassless up to the crest. Up to the crest, it was slippery. Up I looked. It was all stiff nature. Nature hindered me reach the peak. But...

Life Is What It Is
You say Life is rough O tell me what makes it tough; If not of your idiosyncrasy Life is a rock of intricacy Room of animation and stagnation Those must be tasted as abnegation Yes, even the opulent must travel through So live it madly or sweetly And sing it silently or loudly.

Stagnation
I like when things remain the same; Stagnation is my favorite game. I play so well I never lose; What’s set in stone makes me enthuse. While others might redecorate Or even move, I can’t relate. New furniture does not entice; My stuff is old, but still, it’s nice. It isn’t normal, I’ve been told, Becoming worse as I grow old. I wish I...

Stagnation By: Tom 3-20-2020 I can’t seem to concentrate on thoughts constructive, when impending solutions, appear skilled guessing. When tickling my ears are more things so destructive, too much bad news is becoming quite depressing. It appears I'm deserving a break from bad news, it makes it difficult toward spreading good cheer. Most anything's better than self quarantine blues, when all around is lurking, a...
