OVER THE HILL


The road runs past my house

and over the hill and around the bend

and beyond the crest and leaves me

and the sheep behind.


Some days we mind,

and other days we take a mad notion

to see where it goes, one foot

in front of the other and never stop,

a new view at every turn,

a new dawn for every day.


At least that's me, my wandering soul

wondering where the road goes

and if I can go too,

despite wanting to be right where I am

at this moment in time,

calm and content in my home.


What is it with a bend, a rise, a turn

that we need to look around it and past it

to see what is in store

and what might be ahead?


The sheep, I think, only wander in search

of grass, of more fragrant flowers

than what they have here,

seeking pastures new for food

and not to satisfy their curious minds.


So I'll not ask them when they pass

my door if they roam for adventure,

or to seek information

about what's over there hidden,

I think I'd rather pretend

that me and the sheep are in this together.
