New

I am
Standing
In the empty
Road in Texas
Starting new all
Over again at 74
Hearing the sea so
Far away the SoCal
Surf on a beach the
Chesapeake lap along
The shore no sea birds
Here on the high plains
But soon I’ll be just north
Of Galveston Bay on Lake
Conroe in a little condo out
On lake time until the sea is
On my mind again to voyage
To new things to see places to
Go perhaps if I am lucky with a
Friend to share the experience
And grow a bit before back to
Lake time and the delights of
East Texas good food and
Folks old friends across
Texas to see company
To visit in an all-new
Setting fresh with
Possibilities for
Whatever the
Fates have
Skened a
Better
Tent
New
To me
Until the
New has
Wore all off.
