september's poems, part three.

9.4.2015

kids saying words

they don't understand

without the knowledge

of meaning or definition

the powerful words

have little or no impact

someday they'll know

the meaning of words

and those words will

be spoken with hurt

not laughter

cool crisp air

smells of pines

sounds of water

flowing down the

creek at rushed rates

red shoes

black sweater

tall friend

peaceful moments

exploring the world

around us

beauty of being

young

pumpkin on my tongue

sun in my eyes

music in my ears

kids are screaming

behind me

all I can think is

how do they have
all of this

energy?

it's well beyond me

as I sit here

with my venti coffee

trying not to die

from the summer

heat in september

what will become of now?

decisions we decide

form our paths

people we elect

drive our future

pollution we form

changes our environment

some think only in the moment

others focus on their future

a decade passes as

quick as

the seasons change

slowly and in

one blink

what will now be later?

there's a crisp

in the afternoon breeze

gives me goosebumps

autumn in the air

orange leaves everywhere

blows my hair in

my face

while writing these

words

a magical feeling

makes me smile

joyful

capturing every

moment of the

best days

of every year

I get lost

in a sea of

books

↟↟↟

thoughts that once

consumed my mind

are now not even

worth a dime

I look back and
wonder why

I gave too

much time

to thoughts

that were

not even

worth the crime
