On the Other Hand

Tis raining again...now
huddled in skin hung cave.
Dark interrupted by lightning
whimpers after each thunder.

Mud world awaits outside
evil, brown pools of surprise.
Slipping, slidding on way to relief
dashing back to supposed shelter.

Feeble fire casting it’s promise
one sided, all tis delivered.
Crouching amidst live memories
of home...warm and delightful.

Stories shared by the ancients
fire imaginations creating life.
Once upon a time, spoken to sooth
even if revealed, exposed as illusion.

Still storming in all our world
tempers testy, words sharp, rain mocking.
Promise to tribe, flowing from elders
as always; a choice must be made...

... was once upon, bleeding
     and Tramp Poet for a time.
      Now; I'm just little ole me
       "Say friend; spare a rhyme"?...
