Carry On Winter 2021
Well, here we are in the woods again
Vireo calls then disappears into the underbrush
I’ve followed you here, only separated by the years
While the ties that bind draw me deep into the trees
As I recall, among all these poplars a lonely pine
And at its feet, lies the skeleton of a horse
And all about, among the needles and the wood decay
Wild strawberries abound, I have my fill and carry on
I hit save on your memory, you visited her grave
I’d trade you places, take my viewing in the shade
In the end there was a slideshow, log on click to begin
Please find a way to contribute, submit, give a little
Wave to this legacy, this life passed on
To an unknown tomorrow, nothing left but this song
Well, here we are in the trundled night
Or is it the early morn, emerging charcoal shapes decide
The wind has taken over the yard and all that sways
Is compelled to dance, shadows bound to phantom leads
Memory takes my hand and I begin to move
Now I’m dancing in the past, just waiting for the light
In the end someday a gathering
Mainly to review the past
Tip out the last drops of joy from the glass
As we chuckle and reminisce
Wrinkle a brow to recall
Then tuck it all back in self storage
I pack, you haul
Out front my motorcycle
I know no matter what card is drawn
Sun will shoot the horizon
We’ll start up, I’ll carry on
I keep a copy of the program
In the pocket of my suit
If you ever need to read a eulogy
I’ve got you covered grief in lieu
