Restless when awake meets a sleepy body
Found a pen that writes well for a while
In a book that was kept open
Thought I would write something about
Should I write a poem?
****************************************
Summer will be here soon again
Got a blanket and a heart to travel
A mind that’s tired looking around
My loved ones are all alive
The dead ones count as well
Should I write a poem?
****************************************
I have no money to send some to a sister
I have a painting for a birthday that went by
On people’s payroll and a full belly
Certain times about uncertain times
Silence is godly with a smile
Should I write a poem?
