They’ll return
To the sky
To the bluffs
To the forests.
They’ll return
To true pride
To the strength
And the chorus,
Of the way
Things can be
When the truth
One can see
And the powers
Of we,
Will refuse to
Agree
To deceits of those
Pretending
To celebrate
Being free.

Sunshine above
Tasty gold below.
A horse in a city field
Is contentment aglow.
Photographed worlds away
And a mere year ago.

Travel home
To where the shadow
Replicates
What your heart knows:
The lives
The parks
The bustling city
That seems so quiet
And yet flows,
Even when appearing
To hold its breath
In forced repose.

Walk with me
Into nature
Where the fresh air
Flows through.
Walk with me
As we shelter
Under skies
Me, and you.
Walk with me
Hand in hand
Muddy boots
Flowers, too.
Let us breathe
And connect
With everything
That is true.

In the big scale
Of things
Where watershed moments
Froth and fall in
Flush forward,
Each of us but a dot
Drenched in mist
Hoping life
Flows without
A fast-forward.

There’s a hole in that kettle …
I don’t care, don’t throw it.
There’s a hole it that kettle —
This junk won’t make tea.
I don’t care if it’s holey
That pretty, red kettle,
I don’t care if it’s holey
It’s perfect for me! …
(Yeah, if you noted a bit of reverberation, this is very loosely based on “There’s a hole in the bucket” children’s folk song … ;))

They looked outside the window into
Yards and yards of yard,
And knew this house will be one where
All play will thrive unmarred.
The world that spread
For miles ahead
A guard for
Childhood’s boulevard.

‘Twas the best of the betters
The coveted spot
In the field,
Where the corn rose in sunshine
And worms did not stay
Concealed.
He fought hard for the privilege,
Beak and claws he had
To wield.
As the count of days rose
His calls echoed less
Even keeled.
Yet he hoped that the home
He’d claimed for her
Still appealed.

Twixt the tethers of Heaven
And Earth,
Swings the trust
In the ropes
That you’d learned but
Perhaps
Did not quite
Yet test out.

Take a moment
To rest
Ere you once more
Take flight.
Let the weariest
Parts
Lean their weight
With foresight,
For the breath
That will come
Delicate
In the light.
