I first put my feet in the dirt
for the draw-up of earth's energy
robust and tough, resilient,
because I need that these days
deep down in my soul
while I suffer a life without you.

But the earth a receiver and giver
of mankind's rampant desires
in accordance with thoughts
twisted and turned
from the terms of initial intent
and I can't find a spot, small, large, in between,
that sends up clean energy.  

I never thought ere to think of a devil
but the ether says listen, hark now,
and I'm in a dither; is it earth's devil
or the one that resides within?

See I knew you were a, little devil, all along...

Remember that saying back in the 60/70's, the devil made me do it?

Yeah, uh huh, exactly...

Enjoyed this Helen!

And where would I be without the smiles and the sighs you always elicit from ... the devil?
Thanks for the read, Richard.

A bit of the devil isn't such a bad thing, gives living a whole 'nother way of thinking and a dynamite attitude to go along with it. Ride low with the devil, use Him sparingly.

Jerry - I don't want to use him at all!  I have enough "dynamite" of my own should I choose to use it.  Just not sure I have the energy anymore but that, of course, depends on the circumstances.

Thanks for the read.
Helen
