Empty Fields
getting older
less dependent
younger insecurities
becoming redundant
the need and dreams
that once held me
drifted on the clouds
away from me
kind of set in my ways
no longer such a slave
as i was, in younger days
people filing in
to what is expected
dreams without trial
long ago arrested
wondering what i am
what i may do next
those crazy games
long ago left
to feel no need
to harvest and yield
no desire to run and run
across empty fields
James Garratt – July 2009
