The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

As the Earth Turns

Callus and cold the day
Walking out to meet the wind
Temperature being not the friend
Passers by with normality
Cars if you will 
They were driving
Remembering out of the blue
The things one used to do
Longing with each step 
Wanting bad dreams
Not to become real 
Feeling numbness set in
Knowing a need for safety
Money popped up as a frame
Tomorrows another stay
Hope not defrayed
