(2013)
Travel on a winter day which can be dangerous but so beautiful at the same time.
Driving down the road, The song, “Let It Be” Came on the radio. Taking me back to Various scenarios.
This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
Summer is near it’s end, I regret not visiting my childhood home, near the gulf, where the sunset
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
One year since I traveled to paradise. One year since I laughed and danced with friends. One year since I watched
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
Driving through the small towns of America, children of all colors playing in the streets, some with tattered clothes
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
First snow of the season Came down light and gay, With it’s bright white, Reflecting, Off slow moving clouds
