Wyoming Home

White cotton shirt 
on the clothesline
long soft sleeves waving hello
on the blue sky breeze

Pearl buttons winking 
in the kiss
of sunlight

The smell of childhood summer
in the flower fields
of Wyoming mountains

The feeling of freedom
connecting to mother earth

A flash of knowing
where I came from

Cheese and sour pickles
on spongy white bread
wrapped in brown paper

In the long grass fields 
behind the barn

14 years young
about to embark on a new life

A new journey into adultness
sex drugs and rock and roll

walking the line
just enough
keep it real

Saying a prayer
please help me stay
on the right path

the good road
the high road
the red road

Staying in the middle 
of the medicine wheel
of my life
