 Too many things are crowding their way into my mind hunkering down somewhere behind my soul leaving this aching feel for a need to “put a finger on it,” yet, it is as ephemeral as distance and fog light this desire to pull up asphalt, take down concrete push over glass walls and rip out stray wires for somewhere, out there, statuesque braves and lovely squaw who bore laughing children are taking up wigwams, loading their travois, ponies ready for journey, and I would go with them, and skirt the future.

Not so long ago, I could not imagine living in a place far from a big city...I am but a few miles from the St. Louis City limits and less than 15 from downtown St. Louis. Now, I actually dream of a quiet little place where I can be alone with my thoughts, away from the wires and asphalt. Ahh...I could blame my change of heart on many changes in my life, but I know what has made all of the difference...it's all in the words, a poet's words. Just beautiful and I would join them, as well. Well done, Karilea! Patricia |

Now I understand the chills. Strange how thoughts sometimes cross miles...imagine them on a wagon trail....or as in this case, the slow bumpy course of indians travelling across a great frontier, no contrails streaking high above them, silently cleaving the heavens... when life was so simple, yet cruel. For the average life expectancy then was probably less than 45 years of age... In ways, we are blessed...but that hunger still comes to the craw, doesn't it? |

Hi, I've been missing piptalk poems. Been gone for so long,*sigh* And I can't put my finger to writing one - just content to browse and soak in everyone's posts here - yours, the 1st one for me to open. Love the part where you said "skirt the future" - sounds like a comfy, lazy, peaceful way to embrace what's ahead. |

I live in a country area with similar surrounds as the pic you show, but the concrete seems to spreading. Maybe I will pack up my wigwam and leave. lol. I enjoyed reading this. |

I'm with you on this. Our family has lived on our family farm since the 1920s. In hopes to raise the kids to experience nature, we built a house in the back woods, over a third of a mile off the road. The suburbs are approaching us fast, and I foresee a time when we will no longer be comfortable having livestock. You know--too many moo's in the middle of the night! Enjoyed your write. Sadelite |

(smiling) Those pulls of past are often I think simply the pull of balance.. without balance, we know the unsettled and the chaos... nicely done K... I enjoyed |
