Tumbleweed



Tumbleweed

Belonging, that overrated aged albatross
Slung onto and over as well as dragged in a truss
It lets go when traditions are trashed and mashed
Involuntary is the crack, but then the world is washed

New beginning finds disdain for what was ordained
Realization home is nowhere when feigned
Made your own soul into identity that fits nowhere
Rolled down and blown thru’ into somewhere

Always wondering if it’s now home but always chrome
Veneer disappears and falsity rust crumbles leaving you alone
This is strength or a foolish mirage supplied by mind
For the world clings to crutches in clutches but you refuse that slime

No certainty anyway, so sacrificing is fear on delay
True love the panacea, in reality the anesthetic in play
But that elusive emotion of dedication is all
Tumbleweeds understand for they stand tall
