What am I drawn to
Hope for the future
Caring and nurture
I challenge my own words
My own notions
Undergo forgiveness
And simplicity
I have to abstain from
Drawing entitlements
Made in vain
Black boxes roll along railroads
Across the country
Through fields
Next to streams
Between trees
And over bridges
Carrying the goods
Burning the coal
In the country we all
Know and love
Creaking
Burning
Beating the iron
With wheels clad
On a Friday
In the Hoosier State
The little we know
Is holding our growth
The fear of letting go
Prohibits where we can go
If we give up
We give in
Continue on
Thick or thin
The little we know
Hope fear and love
Hold your strength my dear
Keep your eyes to the sun
Eggnog anyone?
Poured over a hot sipping cup
My eggnog
Your eggnog
This holiday goldfish
Wrapped in infamy
We judge each other
Living in an alternative
Life from the real
Descriptives
Explicative
Holiday treats filled with love
Not jealous emotions
This notion
I hold dear
Ready for change
In time
Corrections
Rearrangements
Replacements
Preparing the table
Setting it up
Sturdy and stable
We will move ahead
Into the blowing winds
Lean in to hear
The words spoken softly
Worth waiting to hear
Every moment
Every cheer
Lean in time
Lean in past and future
Teach me
With the lean in
Kids and a grand daughter
In the greatest of way
We talk
We laugh
Ain’t that the truth
I reply
As we slide through the history
We make friends
In these moments
All through life
Love me today
In a moment of disgrace
Weakness
And fear
Love my soul
Love me as we grow old
Weakness and health
Poverty or wealth
Just love me
Certain meanings
Tucked in certain places
Certain feelings
Away in foolishness sameness
Salisbury steak on a Tuesday
Makes for a weird wire of digestion
As Wednesday approaches
Regret in tempting the only remnants
Of a Salisbury steak
Ruby fields
When the sun sets deep
In the western skies
Near the art of water
In summertime
Longing grains of wheat
Holding hands to the sky
Dancing
In the evening moonlight
