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...
