Sunday Runaround

All but the vital

Coming over me

A wave

A fresh tidal

How life goes

Easy on Sunday

Holding hope for the

Week ahead

Leaving behind

The week ago

See where this one will take me

Where I will go

Comes The Breaks

Silence in reflection

Questions

Brought

Through reflection

Resurrection

When progress is made

I might have to step

Away

Hope my hands can

Continue to write

When inspiration

Leaves my side

The morning will be alright

When the sun sleeps

At night

Continue on

Persevere

We must

We have to

Big Days

These big days

Come ever so often

After many early mornings

Many hours

In writing 

And reflection

They reflect the power of real work

And dedication

On these big days 

I embrace the sun

And prepare for what is to come

Trust Us

Trust us

The people

The workers

Bakers

Musicians

Let trust run in the people

Not the controller

The ruler

In the everyday 

Neighbor 

Let’s trust one another

Stop the clutter

And trust 

Each other

East of the Calumet

Taking the back road

Coming through

The only way I’ve ever known

Not the glamor

Or the glory

Rather a quiet ride

With a depth of story

Where the rivers run slower

The woods swollen with bugs

Mid summer journey

Through fields and schrubs

The world I know

The world I grew up

Knowing my roots

And giving them love

The stories I’ve heard

People I’ve met

Down on the south side 

Due east of the Calumet
