Good Enough

So it’s just me and John Prine this evening

sharing company with Arnold Palmer and vodka

Yet if it rains anymore I think I’ll build a canoe

and paddle away from this place

Hibernation is good for the soul

but when you wake you’re starved near death

taking any little thing you can get

greedy hands and hungry eyes

Invest in what makes you happy

you’d be surprised to see most of it is free

or relatively cheap if your perspectives are in tune

I think I’ve come to peace that I may never get it right

but close is good enough now a days

my pedestal is not quite as tall

but there is no shame in that

I still have things I hold in high regards

things I still feel are pedestal worthy

it’s just easier to reach this way

easier to focus, less room for error

a finish line that is constantly in sight
