The Frontier

They were gypsies in search of a home,

one they would never find in their own lifetime,

but one which would exist for their tired child

who was born with more hunger for stability

than a thirst for mystery.

Those who became Texans,

did not care if they made it to the Pacific Ocean.

With a horizon that could be seen fourteen miles across,

they had all the stability and mystery

they could ever want.

With a sky full of wild winds and water

that delivered itself when it was good and ready,

they learned that the best things come

when they had to wait to take a drink.

That was when it got too painful to think.

Then all they could do was feel.
