A Shade of Ash # 52 – Seek, and you Shall Pine

When I wander, I wonder. When I take the long way, I think the whole day. When I touch the earth, it makes it all worth. – Ash

Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 38 – In the Mist of Things

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m walking in the misty rain remembering what it’s like to be present in the moment. I talk along the dampened town streets about sometimes not being myself and needing a little nudge. Take a moment and bold your lines, shade yourself in when you start to fade. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!

My Feelings

that time in the evening
of a September day
is a feeling

a time when thoughts can drift
when sound stays quiet
the road a certain hue of grey
like the sky, maybe one shade away

sometimes I look down and count the patches
kick the broken asphalt
to the dirted sides

where the trees grow
the berries bush
and flowers wild

I look harder at things
appreciate that I am
then

remember someone
think of some time
escape back to a similar place

that time in the evening
I could see into kitchens
and all those moths swarming the post-office lights

hear dogs and guess which one
see cats and watch them go home
smell sawdust and smile

that time in the evening
of a September day
was a feeling
