Sunday afternoon, October

don't look back
and keep on walking
Sunday afternoon
October probably knew
then had he been paying attention
but the young boy needs
attention, again...

going back to that place now
and eight years have passed
and everything has now changed...

brother's trip is over
sister's trip is upcoming
both are highly anticipated
long awaited

going back to that spot
in the mind
that allowed me to take
that first forward step
towards what only stars foretold
and we are seeing the same
stars as we look to the skies...

funnel through the pen

three weeks without words
in this book here
so many thoughts and lost the dread again
sometimes
wondering why
I even write anymore
haven't I said enough
on pages just like these
blank until I tear it up
old school style
head down writing until
all the thoughts funnel
out through my pen...
