Sometimes Often

Sometimes
what we need is hand across the aisle
instead of a knife in the back.
Often
what we want are gemstone driveways
and our employers to be stone stupid.
Sometimes
we listen to fears that have wishes instead of arms.
and we're afraid to escape the conflines of walls.
Often
there are years that are wasted pooled away for neverday
there are never days that ever seem to come at all.
Sometimes
we blast the trumpet only to hear a squeak
we see God's meekest mouse and scream.
Often
we hurt our loves with night eyes and day shouts
We don't pet doves that cry and turn our back.
Sometimes
it's easier to sing someone else's song
instead of writing your own
Sometimes Often
we need to repair our own sails
and turn into the wind.

I don't know, Jeff. Isn't there a  government agency set up to repair sails? Should we be expected to repair sails at our own expense? Just doesn't sound fair....

Too true, dear friend.

All of it, but this was my
own needed push/shove...
so thank you.
