Beautiful Nonsense
missing the school bus
hitching a ride
had no idea what I wanted to do with my life
growing into a punk teen
being kicked out of the clubs
getting in fights with the lonesome drunks
while licking my wounds
a young lady looks deep in my eyes
for the first time, but certainly not the last
broken heart, yet it was always worth it
and through it all
the rises and falls
I found only now
those were the moments
a fit of beautiful nonsense
grew up in a trailer
moved out into a home
worked every dead end job one could know
talked daily with a woman
who gave me what I was missing and more
helped me figure out my self doubt
encouraged me to chase after my dreams
while running I realised
I already had all I could ever need
and through it all
the rises and falls
I found only now
those were the moments
a fit of beautiful nonsense
sitting in my favorite chair
watching the game
my wife tells me get ready
we have no time to waste
always such a wise one
she never steared me wrong
ready and willing for some more
beautiful nonsense

I like all of your poems, but this is my favorite so far. Great title, refrain and story. I'm hearing song lyrics.

That's is such a great compliment. Not sure if I pulled it off or not but was going for more of a bob dylan feel.
Thank you for the read. I very much appreciate it. 😁

I absolutely find the lyrical atmosphere here and very much enjoy how it compliments the sort of autobiographical Springsteen-esque (and yes, Dylan too ) kind of feel you generated. I am a sucker for a great song story, especially when it's a well penned rendition of life's hard fought struggles that become easier to overcome and tackle when being lucky enough to have the deep love of a good woman by your side.... gotta love it.
I could hear it, my friend

Hey there 😁 it's so nice to see you around.
Nothing like an acoustic story that helps you dig deep into the past.
Many thanks, friend. Hope your holidays are going well so far.
