New Summer Wine
By midnights voice
Like new summer wine
We were green in our time
and the yellow rose
never smelled better
But like the weeds in the road
Armadillos and horned toads
The truth was spelled out
In the letter
You know some days are just fine
Others will find you lying
But most of the time
you're barbed wiring
Well the rains came on down
washed away the town
I found you boarding
the bus to Dallas
You said you gave it a go
Now it's time to go with the flow
And I watched the bus disappear
with sadness
Well the high plain's never tame
Life's not long there for the lame
And one can drown in the dust
of your sorrows
You can ride on and mend
But you will never be able to bend
the land or the will that's known
as Texas
So goodbye my dear friend
You can write but I'll never send
I'll be waiting on you
at the nexus

It seem all the pioneers that ventured west trying to bend the land to the plow or whatever only to be broken themselves and move on. What about the ones who stayed. Maybe the land mangled their minds so that they couldn't see or feel reality. Maybe this is still happening now.

Your art definitely compliments the poem - just wish I had more insight to give other than to Hell With It! I'm sure the long and dusty road will eventually lead to somewhere unexpected. Great ink, MV. ~Devlin
