the 12 given words:
boot cringe lift stem moon print
mist live chip spin trim tick
boot cringe lift stem moon print
mist live chip spin trim tick
It is sacrilege to boot
One will just cringe for a lift-off
Looking at the scenario for a lead
In all innocence, it is an attempt to roll out
To venture outside from the clutches
Of those having undue control
It is only fair to stem the tide
On a night when the moon is shy
of showing its print
Only when the air is still
can be discerned nature's hold
Time to take a harder look
It is only right to detect a semblance of order
A night devoid of mist so as to live in peace
To stifle a spin in the making
And chip a wedge in between takes
That is what it should be
Trim off the fat and tick off all the play-acting
Life is all about extending the olive branch
Life is all about forgiving
One will just cringe for a lift-off
Looking at the scenario for a lead
In all innocence, it is an attempt to roll out
To venture outside from the clutches
Of those having undue control
It is only fair to stem the tide
On a night when the moon is shy
of showing its print
Only when the air is still
can be discerned nature's hold
Time to take a harder look
It is only right to detect a semblance of order
A night devoid of mist so as to live in peace
To stifle a spin in the making
And chip a wedge in between takes
That is what it should be
Trim off the fat and tick off all the play-acting
Life is all about extending the olive branch
Life is all about forgiving

I love that concluding stanza! Sometimes re-booting seems the only option.
ReplyDeleteYour closing stanza, wow, if only, if only all could extend an olive branch and for it to be accepted would not the world be more peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the message in this poem Hank, however there are people in this world wo think themselves perfect and because they bear grudges have not come across the word "Forgivness
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Forgiving is an important life skill. It does much more for the person who does the forgiving. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteI can forgive most things, but I don't forget. Fool me once, never again lol
ReplyDeleteI agree, Pat. We must forgive, for if we don't the darkness of if will consume us. But forgetting? Never. If we don't learn for life's lessons, the kicks to follow are our own fault.
DeleteExtend the "olive branch", but never forget why you had to.
"...tick off all the play-acting", indeed.
ReplyDeleteI like 'live in peace' and forgiving...clear vision.
