Still Sweepin'

How much courage
how much presence
does it take to sweep
the road after the tanks
have rolled through?

sweep, sweep, sweep...
one sweep at a time
reclaiming the road
reclaiming the mind
reclaiming peace

one square foot at a time
sweep
sweep
sweep

  2. Thanks, Maybird. I see you found the picture I was telling you about - an image of 'grace under fire'. Sweep, sweep, sweep...

  4. good to have good company on the road.
    Sweep as I go - just the next immediate patch, my broom only reaching an arm's length in front of me - reminding me: that's all I need to tend - Hah! That's all I CAN tend!

    Sweep, sweep, sweep....
