Greener Pastures

In the distance
Plaintive instance.
Ties unmooring,
Wailing, warring

Empty echo
Roman, Greco
Calling danger
Falling manger

Shoulder low
Push and tow
Row to hoe
Seeds to grow

Ways to go,
I don’t know.
Honest hope
Hanging rope

Puzzle pieces
Nephews, nieces
New life leases
Off you go.

Past can’t measure,
Sunken treasure.
Work with pleasure.
Savor leisure.

I should talk,
Squall and squawk.
Once was mine,
Unrefined.

Reinvented
Represented
Claimed from storage
Resurrected

Looking forward,
New hope purpose.
Grass grows green
Beneath the surface.
