Steamy and Dreamy
Ronald-Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
Out cropping the heavens
A dew from a hot spring beckons.
Steamy and dreamy.
Winter weather.
Floating like a feather.
I think of the plants that grow nearby.
I row my boat,
A steamy float.
I see a vine near me,
I wonder what fruit it will give me.
My dreams a float near the moat.
My life has a way to sway
No matter what I say
My life will drift
One way or another,
Or I'll be trapped in the steam
With a life preserver and smother?
But I choose to row,
And after I flow,
I reach out and grab,
Will I find a fruit
Or a thorny prick to stab?
If I don't try
I'll be too steamy and dreamy,
And to never cry
Is to be dry.
I should reach out and try.
