("Night Sky Serpent", 2013, original pen and ink)

Into the Great Unknown

In this world of constant sorrow
Is there room for you and me
As the walls close in around us
Is there some place left to be

We had homes so full of love once
Before walls came tumbling down
A safe place to raise our families
Then floods came and made that drown

There’s nothing left to say now, and
Really nothing left to do
With a world gone topsy turvy
Being forced on me and you

In a world that’s lost its balance
Wokeness spreads its wings like fire
Lifting hope and dreams all rainbowed
White bones burn upon its pyre

So, we while away the sunset
Waiting for darkness to fall
Then with ol’ Big Dipper turning
Saddle up and leave it all.

What comes next you ask in wonder
Are we left then each alone
No, we’ll always ride together
Up into the great unknown
