I had one

Destiny had two

I have learned

To hope for a chance

A chance to see the world

In my hapless state of mind

A world gentle and kind

Or rather as I hope it is

And not for what it

Truly

Is

It is bestowed

Upon the ones

Who inhabit this land

With torn shoes

And weathered hands

That we make this earth

Our home

In that

We have to know

That the earth

Is an art

That is more important than

The words I write

I learn to be a steward

Of the world I know

The repeat fade

Stayed

A few days

Too long

And so

The repeat goes

Again and again

What I don’t understand

Is how it’s the same

Day over and over

And no one person

Notices

When it rains

Tell me the season

When it rains

Tell me the reason

For the quiet

In between

That happen

Between you and me

But rain on me

The water from the sky

So that I may know I am alive

And nourish the ground

Where others lie

Who have gone before

In the night

The waiting stopped

A while back

For the moment

It seemed alright

When the summer

Set in

To go half in on

What seems so plain

So the water flows

And the wind blows

So I begin again

Everyday I go

I am barely holding

On to the loved

Beloved

And must love

I can only see

Myself wither

In the reflections

In the waters below

So I must hold hope

Where I go

I will know

There is hope below

Today

Is the day

That runs

All day

Long

From the morning light

To the night song

A Wednesday

Brings a new light

Into my life
