I’ve Seen
a thousand springs
a sad statue tall
a fool who sings
the colors of fall
the deserts deep
the bones of old
the mountains steep
the land not sold
the palette of the sky
the snow piled high
the rivers flow dry
that which will not die
a soul so new
the blinds loving sight
sweet trampled morning dew
staring eyes of light
the size of power
the grin of sorrow
an infinite hour
an impossible tomorrow
blinding information
teachers of life
the best of the nation
the best of my wife
nights of no sleep
dreams upon the road
beasts at night creep
pain from a heavy load
planets scattered above
rivers lit by the moon
packages of love
a sand slid dune
the morning come and rise
sulfur singed air
dark stormy skies
the lands of many fair
a mother hold her child tight
a coyote sprinting by
the young and old conduct a fight
love that lakes me cry
dry rolling tumbleweed
signs that told the truth
a cowboy perform a good deed
signs that told no truth
fall leaves that fall
signs in the rocks
the skeleton of a dead mall
signs in the skies form a whole
a stair to a fall
a stare to a soul
though the journey’s short indeed
I truly feel as though I’ve seen a lot
there is so much I still do need
see it all in this lifetime, I certainly shall not
