North Carthage

The wind reminds me of her timeless touch

Memories of roads traveled with heavy heart

Always the pull from an unknown source

Calling me out to uncharted waters

As the familiar fades like a sun baked tear

My spirits take flight on a late summer charge

Bursting into the unknown as if a bull tired of antiquities

A new adventure whispers to me

Across the mighty Mississippi

I catch my breath, knowing this is kismet

All roads have led to this one road

This bridge to a new chapter

Full of the freedom of choice

The freeing notion of doing something

For sheer love

Finding passion growing out of cracks in walls

No moment unnoticed

The world is alive and wants to live!

As I want to live with it and embrace every atom

Every heartbeat tapping and pounding

Like a homeless drummer’s bucket in Pioneer’s Square

I’m everywhere

For a few fleeting seconds of time

Then back to this harp-shaped bridge

To meet new eyes, and hear stories from old souls

To create something collectively

Leaving our painted tattoos etched inside one another

And our mark on the wall of the world
