Incessant Wrestle
So the heart murmurs and the kidneys fail,
The lungs draw wheezing breath as tedious chore,
The joints in every limb - feeble and frail,
The mind doesn’t remember anymore…
Yet somehow, something, somewhere out of sight,
Is full of joyous, everlasting light.
Now it is time to call a spade a spade
With the last

Having Bathed
Having bathed, we wait
until the sun has fled the sky,
Before we dry and dress
to take the street.
With one last blush of light
upon the twilight wind,
we fade into the darkness of the trees.
our path is like a wire we must walk,
like artists stepping cautiously along
nothing sure except that, finally,
we will meld

Wrestle With a Problem For Long
Wrestle with a problem for long,
And your stay on the ground will be long.
Wrestle with a problem for long,
And the way up, will seem long.
Wrestle with a problem for long,
And your life will be short not long.

Wrestle With Me
Wrestle with me; the small voice weighs
as does your brother when he prays.
There's much so wrong, but also right
I can council if you invite;
Shepherd your tenet when it strays.
Don't live in atavistic daze;
closed minds the playground where He preys.
Surrender not, put up a fight;
wrestle with me.
You love your pleasure, languid ways;
that sort of life, it

His Tender Care Shall Bloom
Monday comes and my thoughts turn to fleeting things;
I wrestle to run from it
yet I lean on and on.
chasing the wind that brings soul resting
was far too gone.
I know I needed the things that last forever;
Not the ways of the wicket
Nor the likes of the onlookers.
Nosing around where I shouldn't be
Noting down excretion that daunt

We Wrestle Bears
Now are all of you poets listening out there
Us Canadians are hearty, we wrestle bears
Not recommended for sure
Myth says their eyesight is poor
Us humans, they've eaten more than their share

Wrestle Your Dreams, the Ones You Most Cherish
Wrestle Your Dreams, The Ones You Most Cherish
Fear what more, love lost or imminent death
life, its beauty extinguished, in last breath.
Hold this thought, that life exists to live on
and it has no more worth, once we are gone!
Just as rainbows can not be bought or sold
living dances better young, than when old.
Love not life too

Wrestle With the Truth
Why do I wrestle with the truth
Think it over again and again
Mull it through each little piece
Was it right my part
Or were there things I could have done
Who knows now it’s ended
Let it go and don’t think again
Oh, if it were that simple.

Wrestle It Back
Wrestle it back you need not fear
Even if you will shed a tear
It is hard to take at the time
When things don’t look to rhyme
Each step up a mountain you take
Is just one step at a time you partake
The fear you felt is a natural thing
To deal with once the bell will ring.

Angel and a Devil Is With What I Wrestle
10/17/16
Back to the fundamentals
It's been happening worldwide, continental
Wilted leaves and healthy flower petals
Amid Large boulders or tiny pebbles
Among soft to hard metals
The rain at times may be gentle or torrential
Call it quintessential
Way before fishing vessels
Or the use of any mortar and pestle
Since the dawn of time, it's been rather elemental
Regarding anything existential
Some things were on

Not true! They've eaten more of us guys than their share

Wrestle
In the ring alone,
Gloveless and silent
The competitor walks down
Challenge in his eyes
Is that what he wants
Who is better, who's stronger
It is my ring now,
I'm in the centre
Yet putting on his gloves
He steals the middle
Interrupting my silence,
My gloveless moment
And I just stand firm
I will not give in
Blow me, black me out,
I will still remain gloveless
In
