If I’d lived my life by what others were thinkin’, the heart inside me would’ve died

I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity

Someone had to reach for the risin’ star, I guess it was up to me

Old Folks Lament

Leaves beat down
Grey clouds threaten the first snow

“What did you say?”
“I can’t hear you.”
Like rattling branches.

Beaten down by life
Talking past one another
All of our vital connections behind.
