harvest season

this year i have harvested
a new life
a new job
a new story
on an old way of living
close to the ground
to the bone of things

this year i have harvested
time for myself
time for my family
time for each other
on an old path traveled
by many around
to the marrow
of the matter of things

this year i have harvested
truths about myself
truths for myself
truths within myself
on an old song
sung 'round the fires
close to the ground
gnawing on bones
to get to the marrow
of necessity long forgotten

this year i have harvested
