tomorrow

Dried dirt rests on my hands.


It is interesting to see

You and I,

Sitting across from this table

Looking eye to eye.


I wander if you knew

That the field I chose has changed

What was abundant in its former days,

Bears no fruit today

and now

I am left looking across a barren field


Time has come,

For a change in direction

A change in luck

A change from nothing to everything.


And I give everything

Knowing I may gain nothing.


The forecast is unforgiving,

But I will carry on working

with my dirt dried hands.
