I am old my friend. Been asking the same questions as in the poetry.
"Who Am I
Who Am I
Well Maybe One Day I'll Share It
What I Seen, as we met at the River
The River inside of Me"
I believe we are what we leave behind. My grandfather and grandmother taught me how to live and the beauty of the earth. I teach my grandchildren, the same. Powerful and worthwhile poetry shared.

On the 8th I arose and stayed up and that night in bed on FB I typed in my first poem in a year, exactly to the day - and the poem is It's The Same Sky - the one just before Who AM I, and it was 6 months before that Year that I wrote the previous one. My depression was so bad, I did not care about a damn thing, grass grew High, my garage 0 try to find something and not get hurt, didin't care if I lived or died and I started thinking like, I wish my son in law had known me before, he never knew the real me. And I tell my wife - I don't know who was here with you in Michigan last year, that sure was not me, didn't do hardly anything on our farm - but this year is different 0 just today I mowed the ol' farm stead, the whole main yard and down at the River, around the sauna and the swimin' whole all cleaned up and ready for my kids and grand kids to come play. half of the grand kids will be here - starting this week into mid August 0 we gonna have a good time this summer, my daughter bought a house 2 years ago, last year was our first year at it, It is on Lake Superior and they put in a Barrel sauna this spring 0 had the first fire last night in it. thank you coyote for always readin' my stuff 0 you're a good man I can tell.
some things tend to dam up that river before it flows into who we are and the current we feel comfortable
drifting in with our lives....

I am a man who has finally realized he needs to write down what matters to him, that I might learn from myself, what is important, what I value. To capture who I am now, for that is all we have is no.. more..
