tired midwest parents

From frozen to fire
A spring that cut to summer
Here I sit with time

Mind returning to
Who I am at the quiet
Building a future

Bones and bends heal slow
Miles through magic memory
Home is a feeling

The routine pulls me
Towards ambition or failure
But give me an island

Words on paper come
Returning youthful wonder
Images challenge

Perception turns in
I see my soul supported
In their arms I'm whole
