Some signposts become illegible



some details are better left unseen
some parts should be left unspoken
some pieces of the puzzle are broken
some lines of the riddle seem obscene
some days take more from us than others
some memories we had best not visit
some places should never have existed
some times we have no brothers

some things we see are not glimpsed whole
some acts have no decent frame of reference
some ideas come unbidden
some plans form in the dark
some lives may make sense to others
some people live well without their reason
some flowers remain unopened
some relationships remain unbroken

some clouds bring no soothing rain
some years pass within a deeper blur
some emotions bring us closer
some images burn us within too deeply
some children must be left behind
some lights wink out far below
some thoughts we take in quiet comfort
some days just pass us by too soon

some feelings stay warm within us
some nightmares persist for years
some trees have seen everything we have done
some cities yet remain alive
some books can act like good armor
some friends can see us through
some galaxies move silently toward us
some companions must go off on their own

some loves are meant to last forever
some resources get squandered quickly
some gestures are best left unmade
some nights we rest alone and uneasy
some faces tell a thousand stories
some roads lead just to lonely towns
some stories leave us feeling hungry
some unseen item can seal one's fate
some beginnings arise from fine ash
some hopes are coarsely dashed

some dreams can help sustain us
some seem more alive than others
some fevers bring on guiding visions
some suffering may lead to wisdom
some fish require cold water
some colors clash with the land
some accidents may help us plan
some visions lead to desolation

some paths fade out among dense weeds
some voices calm us with their sound
some winter chill remains deep within us
some waters clearly mesmerize
some signposts become illegible
some silences are blessed indeed
some grace can be austere and cold
some mercy does not last

some women share the secret freely
some rings may never be removed
some work we can leave for tomorrow
some illusions we let take hold firmly
some respects we cannot ever pay
some debts we will always owe
some sighs remain the only tie that binds
some tears leave more than salty traces

some wisdom actively seeks us out
some relaxations just numb our minds
some songs take us far and wee
some jobs reduce our lives
some diseases heal the spirit
some deaths bring only questions
some losses only matter due to our mistakes
some gains we notice through others' views

some leaders are the best that donors can afford to buy
some workers are not so happy with their lot
some families have no generations
some countries have no enduring culture
some small villages may yet sustain us
some paid services are never rendered

some schemes offend our inner core
some jokes die upon the tongue
some greed is considered good and healthy
some longings go unfulfilled by choice
some sons are always called upon to a suffering sacrifice
some of us slowly become aging grandparents
some irony is too subtle to penetrate our grief
some delusions help us to really see

some heroes are better off unmet
some handshakes are soft and moist
some peaks remain far off forever
some animals simply will not hide
some lies may help them to console us
some self-reflection may bring unease
some emptiness may help to restore us
some winds stay dry too long

some whispers set our ears to ringing
some cats can sense our ways
some help comes too late to matter
some mackerel skies can change to rain
some hands could tell us many stories
some doors don't really close
some raindrops strike our faces
some candles go out too soon

some reasons do not satisfy
some tales tell more than themselves
some issues are not ever addressed
some challenges remain unmet
some conflicts are not resolved
some problems cannot be discovered
some bodies are left out uncovered
some wounds will never heal

some things are not cured by time
some groups are not lead by politicians
some whispers bring on cold shivers
some demons will never leave us
some races should not be run
some contests cannot be won
some feelings cannot be replaced
some relations crumble before they fade

some remains cannot be identified
some meals cool and stay unfinished
