Wisconsin Misty Morning

Wisconsin misty morning come
redeem me from this drifting
like the fog that here is lifting
in the blazing light of day.
Captivated by this wonder
song of silence, stillness thunders
to awaken life within me
streaming passion golden ray.

Doodles, wasted hours spending
drafting nonsense, making etchings
with the timeless vacant stretching
of the spaces in between.
Mindless wandering and gazing
useless energy dispelling,
with no story worth the telling
and my mood turned blue from green.

Portage, Wisconsin 1983
