everything changes
and that’s okay, i’ll be back
in the saddle again
“Looking Back” - 12 x 9” - Gouache
In the customary tradition of haiku poets, here’s a farewell poem. It’s not my first and maybe not my last. Looking back, it’s been a great ride: pains and pleasures, wins and losses, tears and much laughter. No complaints, only gratitudes for it all. The inscription on my painting reads:
country singer
in a rock ‘n’ roll band
that was my dream.
i didn’t make it
and that’s ok….maybe
next time around.
i confess
i can’t sing for beans, but
so what, i can dream.
