Oblong Dreams

Oblong Dreams

         The wind, the rain

the snow and ice, could

not keep me standing still.

I longed to know.

Parting winds I drove

along the breeze, its chill

the fear did go.

 

Your soft pale skin, bright

father's blue eyes, fingers

long you have my chin

Energy, laugher, fights

at school, you and me son

are one in a few.

Letters shapes, numbers

masquerade.  "Mom," you said

I just can't read.

Don't worry son

we have to have faith/

Hungry children, bills

they came.  "Mom," you said

I'm so afraid.

Fear was not part of the

plan, we took our chance

and came out good,

(at most ends).

Arguing, tear-drops,

falling down.

"Mom," you said

he is to blame.

Don’t worry son I'll be

okay.

At the window they peered

that day. Watching as

life they knew gave way.

 Don't worry sons

I'll find you someday,
