there is no future, without love
stopped in my tracks
distracted by thoughts
pondering politics and hurricanes
damns on rivers and whales
health care and welfare
growth and progress
oil being squeezed out of rock
working four jobs to get enough
always wondering how much is enough
enough time, enough money,
watching the leaves blow down the street
looking up at the naked trees
feeling the coming winter in my bones
long shadows crossing my path
pulling the scarf around me
wrapping myself inward
pausing in my 'busy' life
to wonder about being enough and
to repeat a prayer i heard today
"there is no future without love"
