Advice

like the deer, we stay one
step ahead of the storm,
hiding behind bushes
and trees, living in caves
long ago made by the
wind at our backs...
along the rooftops of the
mind we prance, loaded
down with thoughts,
putting aside our differences
we give to the needy
and to the forgotten,
who will be remembered
in the future when we
return for their advice...
