Sustaining an Unplanned Life

We
en-route
to truth
scampering
past trickery
skulduggery
maneuvering
past lavish lies

Finding a grove
of sweet-gum tree
and hickory
ancient elders
masters of sky
in shadow we hide

Then we re'lize
that we can grow
Sunflowers in
our own front yard
we don't hav'ta
go hide so hard.
