Child Of Nature (original poem)

![goingtowork977664_640.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/owasco/ENoKw3DT-going-to-work-977664_640.jpg)








Things seem to fall apart
Topsy turvy becomes the norm


Money is lost
Tempers take stages
Wagons circle
Battles are waged



I wait silently 
for 
the dust to settle
for 
my choices to appear
for
my path to clear
for
my dreams to take form

The current of nature, 
synchronized with all things, 
responds to the paddles in my hands
and I glide on a truth of my own making

I've been trying to write this poem for months now. As often happens, when I looked over the many pages of seeming drivel that I have written over those months, a very few lines became salient, and pieced nicely together to make a very simple whole. 

Thank you for reading. I love you all very much.

Oops, I'm too late to upvote... where have I been these days...??
Waiting for the dust to settle, for answers to appear... wagons circle, battles rage,
MONEY LOST .... that ... and impending war, and why am I not a prepper already, like so many here at Hive and Steemit. #homesteading has trended here for years now. 
I soooo do not want to have to stockpile food for a year, forage, tend a garden, take up canning....
Thanks for writing - we all love YOU ver much!

Beautifully written @owasco,

This one speaks to me so much with all of the uninvited craziness in my life right now, and I feel like I'm just waiting silently for my choices to appear as the dust settles. 

Sometimes we just have to go with the current of nature and respond to things as they come. 

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I guess I don't mean we should be passive, but rather we have to be careful not to impose any agenda on the situation. When we stick to an agenda, we can't *see* the options. 

Something wonderful will come to you. I know it.

I am also living by these words 
"Money is lost
Tempers take stages
Wagons circle
Battles are waged"

I finally told my sister to give me what I wanted or we could sell Mom's house, I could use the 75 grand that would be my part. Surprise, she agreed to give me the damn book, but she would not tell me when she will do it.

She has to the end of probate, otherwise, I will not sign the papers for them to get the house. I am really tired of her greed. Right after Mom passed, I told my daughter, watch what happens, I  bet "she" gets the one who the house goes to, to put her name on the property, too". 5 months later, the younger sister agreed to add "her" name on it.

Mining past scribbles is important, I keep a lab notebook!

But things may not clean up anytime soon, so look past some of it; to reach your safe place.

I love how you circle back to your drafts. That's something I struggle with... 

You can say 

I am waiting nervously 
for 
the drafts to wrestle  
their way back from the recycle bin and 
for 
my words to reveal their endings. 

The love is mutual 🌻

lol love your poetic innovation on my poem! 

It's often painful to read my "drafts" (which are really just drivel) and most of it languishes forever in a never-again-read document. Eric Vance Walton inspired me to go back and read some today, and I am so glad I did. 

xo
