Hazy Acres

And then back to a lighter place 

It starts again 

Wiping off the paper from shards of eraser 

As it drys outside from heavy rain 

Once the nerves settle in

Finding the healing place 

Finding the home being built for them to live 

Peacefully 

And once again they will awake 

Feeling the push to defend a territory 

Sacred lions must show their teeth 

When it counts 

Resting in the slow pace 

Able to see the pictures as they see fit

When one thing is just one thing 

And their way is an acceptable way 

As is the other lions in another place 

Reaching out for only whats needed 

Simple resources used when needed

Best it can do is try 

You find the answers after so many words 

Soft outcomes after all 

In the center with a garden

A single cherry tomato 

One day by the water that runs in the subtlety 

Behind the studio 

Seen by the window of the upstairs room 

We nap there in the winter 

Looking down on wide open spaces 

Dream in the dreams a vision for the visionary 

Hope is real 

Passion is real 

Real is as real as you want it to be 

Drawing pictures along the way 

Funny hats with odd shaped heads 

One shoe 

Purpose in the fire 

Where the fear turned to kindling 

And warmed up the fleet 

Off to bed as it dies down 

Gifts for the quiet place 

Trees and roaming night hunters 

Eyes in the night 

Have their reasons
