The ties that bind

sore, tired day, limbs ache
clouds have come but
it is dry

trees sway to and fro on
the hill crown
birds come by

quiet day, no words
balm to my heart
no cry

thoughts roam like
lost children
ghosts sigh

relinquish all the tethers
wrapping and binding, choking
no ties

open the mind let the vista in
spreads, frees, beckons
must try

One Year Round The Sun
