A Long Time Hence


daylight fills the hollows of my mind

sitting on the back porch reflecting

times past - times present - and the

future sometimes as it may need to be,

we are curious and stubborn and full

of the hatred that caused our birth,

we are subtle and kind, especially to

the animals kept in our homes...  a

day in the life goes as far as it needs

to go when the night gentle crushes

the light - we can no longer see that

which we want to see or that which

we need to see...  hoping for more

but always expecting less, wondering

when the light will finally be gone

and we will rest forever in the ground

and have no more thoughts to share

or to ponder for the rest of eternity.
