Mud Tracks

Mud tracks: covered in tears and blood Foot Prints: holding memories of all that I've ever loved Seeds drowning along: In heart breaks and heart aches and anger not succumbed Deep in my shoe's traction: rests a Cocooned SUN Trickling down from my palms: all of the songs that I have ever sung This is my PATH: whether or regardless of what is done This is my LIFE: caught between insanity and pain and ambivalent LOVE Seeds buried alive: hungering to be borne Songs bursting INSIDE: tortured and thirsting to someday SOAR In this earth that I leave behind: the furrows that I have bore What difference did I make? I wonder all the more What harvest did I sow? so much yet to be explored What shall I reap? an open or closed door After this undertow: ravishes me inside and after to abide evermore An alien in this world: beckoning to exist Going onward to home: never could resist Will I become and know: that question that plagues my soul WHO I AM; WHO AM I? Could never let go...
