New Places to Go

So many places, scattered everywhere
Coming from a source, forced to explore
With knowledge to share, welcome to stay
Making a home, for the booted out stray
Stack a few rocks, to pass the time
Dots to the stars, attempt to align
Getting so much, from needing so little
Learning from surviving, another winter
Sitting under an oak, next to a river
Fishing for a salmon, to show the way further
Next thing you know, water overflow
Building a boat, new places to go
Always searching, trying to replace
Where you came from, dreams not erased
Finding a tree, a circle of growth
Feeling for roots, deeper to know
Looking above, hard to ignore
Shining so bright, precious from cold
Looking below, a stream or a lake
Spotting a fish, a turtle or snake
Sitting under an oak, next to a river
Fishing for a salmon, to show the way further
Next thing you know, water overflow
Building a boat, new places to go
Finding a spirit, to balance within
Question a why, purpose intend
Creating a recipe, material and life
Telling a story, escaping a strife
Teaching to share, expanding your world
Correcting a detour, when too many are hurled
Lending a hand, to those in struggle
Writing a song, for telling to others
Sitting under an oak, next to a river
Fishing for a salmon, to show the way further
Next thing you know, water overflow
Building a boat, new places to go
Watching the stars, a map to go far
Finding a place, a deck of cards
Seeing the sun, rising again
Spotting a soul, cherish to begin
Years much later, looking everywhere
Finding remnants, thought to compare
Derivative cycles, covered by chaos
So hard to discover, what’s inside us
Sitting under an oak, next to a river
Fishing for a salmon, to show the way further
Next thing you know, water overflow
Building a boat, new places to go
