So if you need a hero (if you need a hero)
Just look in the mirror (just look in the mirror)
No one's gonna save you now
So you better save yourself
And everybody's hurting
Everybody's going through it
But you just can't give up now
'Cause you gotta save yourself (Yeah, I gotta hang on)

The sun'll come out
Nothing good ever comes easy
I know times are rough
But winners don't quit
So don't you give up

Since I saw that clip of Oliver Anthony singing his song 'Rich Men North of Richmond', the ghost of Woody Guthrie has been whispering in my ear. "Help that guy out" Woody keeps telling me "Let him know there's a way to deal with those problems he's singing about". So today I sat down and wrote this response to Mr Anthony's song, for people like him and people like you.

@janallmac Hahaha.. I wouldn’t go that far. Just sometimes the mood hits. Thank you for the compliment. 😊

The shore,
where I saw me,
but not in the way you think.

I saw myself in the rocks.

At the water’s edge
sharp enough to flay the skin.
But with every pass of your touch
I radiated sparkles under the sun.

Self-described as being pushy
but experienced as restrained patience,
time and again
you have cradled me with infinite care.

I drove up to the lake today,
sat on the wooden bench
and thought of you by the shore.

I drove up to the lake today
and sat on the wooden bench
placed so invitingly by the shore.

I saw you,
with me,
but not in the way you think.

I saw you in the water.

From a distance
your silver-soft serenity whispered to my soul.
Up close
your desolate and murky gray beckoned my heart.

Constantly needing to move,
your changeable ways
as mercurial as the shift in wind
after the heavy afternoon rain shower.

But you always end up at the shore.

I'm a man with a clear destination
I'm a man with a broad imagination
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
I can't find no control

Catch the blue train
Places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river

There's always room for a little more
And there's always reason for a little less

@ACG2 I agree. This post really made me stop and think about my own life and I how I interpret it.

Good morning CoSo. I’m feeling pretty today at #6. How about you?
