different turn

took a different turn
already dark and cold
stars almost ready
to put on the night light
march overhead
took that turn that shook me free
from any group thought process
no group here power up and strengthen
in solitude no need for further distraction
coexisted three times done with that
do it pirate style someone else’s ship
good thing I am welcome as they say
took a different turn
and no one followed back to where I started
thirty-nine years planted some deep roots
and the trees have grown tall enjoying
a cold night on a young porch
in an old backyard where I ended up
taking that different turn four years ago
a night in March and never went back...
