29.7

Cheers to a lifetime
Of dedication to a cause
A steadfast work of ages
That makes all take pause

Now we salute a colleague
A friend and mentor too
Who saw us all just starting
And taught us what to do

We'll drink a cup to you tonight
And wish you well upon your way
A new beginning awaits right now
And we've come to mark the day

What are you doing today?

How easily a day can change
When least you think it will
A small little deviation
Can really cause a thrill
But even when it all dies down
The truth remains the same
And reliving the events later
Is a often a very pleasant game

Fossil

Millions of years have gone by
And now you see the light again
Though ordinary in your time
You are a marvel to our generic eyes
A miracle of fossilization
Brought down to us through the years
A privilege to hold you in our hands
Knowing that with you
We close eons in our planet's history

Grind

Blocked by a silly filter

From posting what I need

Not like it's illegal

Or a grave & serious misdeed

Just a fun little outlet

For what's on my mind

But the higher ups have decided

That for us it's just about the grind

No new words

I know I have been lax

With the words in this past week

But who could blame me

When there was such adventure to seek? ;)

I was away, now I'm back and there's plenty more to come! :)

Fly Away Together

Let us walk across that bridge
Into a metal bird
Let's fly away together
To places of which we've heard
Let's form some splendid memories
While we've still got the chance
Let's enjoy the music entirely
While we're still at the dance

Try again

We are aggrieved to say the least
When after all, we came in peace
No apologies for this last outburst
But then again, it was not the first
We're sorry now, to have tried
Yet we now no longer have to hide

Communicating Adolesence

I've lost count of how many ways
I've tried to get through to you
I held on to a belief that I would know
But I've realized now that it was silly
To assume that I'd be able to connect
When things have changes so greatly
But in the end you are still you
And one day you'll understand

Riddle

Something borrowed and something blue
When faced with the future
It can be daunting when new
A twist of destiny that can resolve the past
But only if understanding that things cannot last

Gathering

Cooking up a storm
For all of you coming over
We're happy to host you all
As it's been ever so long
But as the meats brown
And the vegetables steam
We must remember that
In all of our busy-ness
This is the first time we're gathering this year
And this really is a shame
