thought Jackson

the train rolls into town
that's how I know the time
prayers for Jackson
all night in the rain
the days when
his father lived here
which one how many
until now roll of dice
howl of the wind
positive or negative silence
thought Jackson
all night in the rain
well after it stops
another phrase I won't use here
the train headed north bound
can't wait to get home
wherever that may be
strange as night
lasts longer than usual
deeper breaths
more confusing swirling
like soap down the drain
thoughts on Jackson
all night in the rain
never met hope to soon
strong Jackson
pull through will to live
so young life
and the chessboard
becoming one
what's the next move
forward until ultimate strength
attained thoughts on Jackson
possibly not for this world
not this time prayers
meditations and salutations
every day deliver the strength
poor Jackson pull through...
