Single candle

Piece tree limbs
Sharpens the
Singing birds

Darling do not
Fear what you
Don’t really know
Spend some time
Alone reflecting

sherku: Antietam
The country road
Winds through what
Was once a bloody
Civil War
Battlefield

sherku: drift away
Give me the beat boys
And free my soul
I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
A 'found' poem. I have loved this Doobie Brothers chorus since I first heard it and finally realized it was a sherku! Well part of it was.

So many deaths
So much sorrow
Whole earth shedding
Tears of pain
Seagulls take flight

But there is joy
In what we
Can control
