Timber of the Tree......for Sharon

 

 

Capture the centuries

Carry the lineage

Stay connected

Dreamer of drama

Fool of folly

Sage of sinister behavior

 

Innocent are you?

 

Storybook bullshit

Endings unreal

Wisdom

wasted on

Caged freedom

 

Fires blazing

Forged failures

Beginnings banished

Free.... a nice idea

 

Heartland hurting

Memories mangled

Calling me to rearrange

 

Fretting my

family

The rise of the

sun

Misgivings mine?

Yearnings

yours?

 

Recapture myself

I must

Lead me to my

self

 

Innocent am I?

 

Staring over

No one owns my

path

Deep in my own heartlands

I call to my own

memories

peaceful

 

Burning the eyes of my ancestors

The age of my innocence

rising

now...

in the smoke

and

mirrors

of my own dreamer

fool and sage

 

My storybook cleared

of the cages

Forged in the past

chasing of the

days

of those who

walked before

me

 

Easy to see me

now

As the smoke of

my family failures 

passes away

 

Reflected in the

mirror is

the future I build

for me from

the

timber of the tree

of my

family....

 

chosen and

free
