West Texas Wildflowers

West Texas Wildflowers Waving in the wind Weather-worn whispering Whirling warnings to my window As I water my wallflower The weeds won’t stop growing So I whistle the wisdom I once welcomed As I wish it away Watch me wane As it wastes me away I’m wilting With the willows Weeping Weakening in this web woven around me I’ve quit wondering What a wasted world I’m surrounded by Windows but the walls are all warping Who waged this war not worth winning? Will all you want But wait as you will if you are not working No time for wandering I work because I’m weltering But I’ll always grow weary of the wyrd The west Texas wildflowers warned me
