Poem
Where do you want to be? So few raindrops fall in our summer’s here This drought is deep and hot and long Sweat pours down my brow, the air is dry There is no escape from the heat Except in the shade of this tree My heart feels light, sometimes my heart is dark At times it exists in shades of gray When it gets dark I reach for the light And when it’s light I play it out To the break, to the break of day Life is such a trip so many places to go And in my mind and in the skies The oceans take me upon the flow So on a plane or in a train, on a boat or on the road My destination’s making way, I release and let it go I know a man who is staring at the end He carries a weight I have not yet known His spark of life is fading out in time He’s going off to another home We’re all riding on time, this time We’re all standing on the edge of our world Turn around and you might get lost You’ll never know just what you face until you open your eyes Have a drink it’s on the house Sit down and share a meal We’re all gathered here to celebrate It’s all happening here, it’s the place to be It might seem like a game of chance, roll your dice The stage is set and we’re playing it out Raindrops are scarce, the heat bellows out The sweat on my brow beads a lash An escape beckons deep in my canyon of self Where do I want to be?
