Nearer to the Earth
And the comfort of my skin
The simplicity of this day
In the comfort of my skin
Unlabored by pretension
Save the comfort of my skin.
Today I am floating
Through the impacts
Of my actions
I am walking
I feel like running
But I'm driving
To my destination
My . . . desitiny
And the road . . .
Everything is empty
Like Iowa
Like Kansas
Like my soul
I wish I could sink
Below the tide
That lucid ride
Like my soul
Floating
Waiting for what's mine.
Now yards are empty--
Save a few stray leaves.
Arms stretching to heaven--
Clawing their way from the earth
That so roots them.
And the grey, grey sky.
And the still, still air.
And the moment.
A moment in time,
Before Winter's fall.
Craving
Crawling
Lingering beneath the surface.
Sleeping
Dreaming
This life and this purpose.
Wanting
Longing
Fulfilling the desire.
Waiting
Counting
Each passing hour.
Completeing
Succeeding
To satisfy this quiet need.
Accepting
Reflecting
A life and the final deed.
