Strive

Bent down and digging holes

In our lives, lanes that lead nowhere

Two days more won't take the time

After so many years of chasing our tails

Journeys on the same train in the same seat with the same view

The noise we hear and ignore, Goodness knows what her name is

But I see her beauty, Long braided hair, bones in her throat

Bangles and rings her skin seems to shine, I know she's gone away, so I go

Home to safety, The days of daring

Daring to change, Daring to accept

Daring to lead and be led

The days in the fields where we live

Work then in fields full

And wash those worries in honest sweat

Or just sweat, Hope for the sun day after day

Adding life to your years or years to your life

Days gone from our lives, Run over fields in white coats

And answers found in white coats

Working those lines for freedom

Working those lines of freedom

Thinking of what you should

Do it and then those ingrained expectations of society and family, where we are expected to be the role

Husband wife father son daughter

Not dressed, Not even dressed for those jobs

The joy of living in fields, Fields of plenty

Fields with frontiers

Holding on to the freedom, The line of faith

Back to the same things, Same cycle of thoughts

Those foolish dreams and ideas, Whims and fancies

Certain to come again, Those should-haves or what-abouts

Amen Amen! To those things, Close the thoughts and the truths and lies

The world goes on with rain, As I stand and watch the arguments

View held with little consideration, Active in my way or just side-lined

Either way makes hay in these fields, Fields of plenty

Fields where we live, Bring on the Dr or the priests

I shall live, In these fields

I am ready
