What Can I Say

The rain returns
I guess, I need more cleansing
Birds have arrived singing
But, the pain still burns

Like the fire in my woodstove
Keeping it warm inside
In my safe home, I hide
Like at an ocean, a hidden cove

Information builds, fast and furious
My mind takes it all in
The good, the evil, the sin
Still, facts, have me curious

I worry about people every day
I worry about our country
As I watch it fall, no where to flee
These times are rough, what can I say

Heidi, 'As I watch it fall, no where to flee ~~ These times are rough, what can I say'. A poem called 'What can I say' smarts properly somehow. The reason for so many things, humanity brings to try to find the answers. There are books and songs, long walks, volunteer to right wrongs, companionship, dance with the devil in medication and moonshine, poetry, puppies.., and rain. -Richard
