something going on right here

sirens blaze
through tonight
just as I might
the entire time
away from work
something going on
in the distance
something going on
right here eyes on
where I rest my own
blazed but didn't choke
laughed at every joke
because of the ease
of the situation
sister helped create
the freestyle afternoon
without a plan for Friday
night looking ahead but enjoying
every step watching the youngest
get lost in horizontal stripes
and a new face to add to the memory
as smiles were too big not to share
time flies too fast to give the clock a care
ignore it like sirens in the distance
every step counting on one hand
and then the other then to the stars
if the skies stay clear Orion
will be seen as he is every night...
