Where have I been I do not know Not trying to be mean Just not with the flow I have avoided my website For the whole year Was it a fight Or not very dear I had things to say Writing a new book Posting on Facebook each day I did not look Living life Chasing a sailboat A potential new wife I did not promote Myself And my blog Left all on the shelf I feel like a dog Pure laziness No motivation Almost craziness It has to be frustration With no audience Not finishing my novel It is obvious I did grovel Not doing my best Scared and afraid I did not pass the test Or make the grade But it is time To start a coup I can make life rhyme And start anew Write my novel routinely Post on the website weekly Create a feeling of serenely Using my voice uniquely Make it a passion Write to my heart is content Do not stop or ration So I have nothing to lament

Shift
Shift
Left to right
Forward and back
Dark to bright
Run to tack
There are many ways to go
And I must change
Do not go with the flow
I must turn the page
Leave Jackson
Do not be shocked
Viking or saxon
Not land locked
A new journey
Sailing away
Leaving absurdity
A new sunset everyday
My intent
My want
My plan
My desire
At sixty not too late
To transition
A new journey and fate
A grand ambition
But wait
Who is this girl
That I went on a date
Her hair has so much curl
I am smitten
By her beauty and enthusiasm
Maybe sailing is not written
She has to be an addendum
My plan b has crumpled
Moving to plan c
My arrogance humbled
I now can see
I want her in my life
And she makes me laugh
With no crazy strife
I want to be her better half
In this moment
In this time
In this minute
In this space
I will pursue her
Wanting to know if she is real
Not some imaginary blur
And my feelings are real
Sailing will be there
But I can not let this pass
I am chasing that wild hair
And this charming lass
There is so much opportunity
There is so much promise
There is so much compassion
There is so much expectation
Go all in
Do not miss the chance
I can only laugh and grin
A sailboat can not kiss or dance
Change
I need a change To make me whole Why exchange My current role I am not appreciated I am a man child I am depressed and deflated I am forgotten in exile I have an opinion I keep to myself Just a tiny minion Not being myself I need to stand up But then I am immature And we breakup And there is no cure I can walk away What does it prove To exit the fray As my opening move But this is hard I am weak going to ground Getting lonely and scared Growing lifeless and down Will I miss my buddy Just waiting and moping Way too hard and bloody Just hoping I wish it could be A life with her I have made my plea She does not concur Instead of pouting And being blue Your life needs rerouting To make it through Concentrate on me Setting new priorities I am single and free With no authorities I am off my medication Planning to travel Not a vacation Just to unravel My mind and thoughts Through reading and writing Connecting the dots And keep on fighting Fighting for what is right Which can be a debate Not worth the bite I am not a piece of bait I am not a fish or insect I am a strong man I stand erect I need a plan Get my health straight And create multiple verses Remove dead weight Solve any reverses What needs to shift To execute your plan Become a spendthrift And a bad food ban Walk even if it hurts A health goal And do not chase skirts So you keep control Do not be in a rush Solve all concerns Work through the slush And reap the returns The goodwill produced Relations restored I will get a needed boost Along with a great reward My plan will be ready To shift my gaze And to be steady Through this new phase
