High up in the Sky

I walk a desert – in a mirage I walk alone

With no destination – I have no home -

I travel for miles – my feet grow weary – as does every swollen bone.

Without hesitation – I keep moving forward – though it’s dreary – monogram to the tone.

I look high up in the sky

When I hear a crow fly by

First life I’ve seen – except these lizards that tag my side

Then a coyote I happen to see – then he hides

While all this time - long ago – he had already spied me.

That crow craws out again

You know, I’m beginning to think he’s talkin’ to him.

High up in the sky

Then that crow comes - sits on a distant limb

Starts crawing out again

Then all his friends start circling in

Landing -  joining him

I think those crows are hoping that coyote will have me for dinner

And leave my bones for those crows to pick thru.

Keep moving – don’t let them get to you.

Daylight’s burning

World’s turning

Do what ya got to do!

I walk a desert – I walk alone

With no destination – I have no home

High up in the sky

I see a shootin’ star fire by

Where it goes – I can’t say

But it looks like it’s ticket was punched just one way

I’m travelin’ by.

No particular reason why.

Kickin’ that ol’ tin can

All over this land.

Keep moving – don’t let them get to you.

Daylight’s burning

World’s turning

Do what ya got to do!

You might only get this one chance

Then again – you might not even get to dance.
