Lookin back and the hazy days <br />tick tack the turbulent past <br /> <br />Shootin apples of the trees <br />hidin initials on the barks <br /> <br />Inside the dream bubble <br />no escape to comfort <br />just rapid movements <br /> <br />Sat by the river <br />watchin my rippled face <br />sensed the gesture of the salmon <br />waving goodbye <br /> <br />All faces look the same <br />if only they look up in the sky <br />a smile would blend in<br /><br />Roger Bewman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/many-reasons-to-cross/
