Coming and Going

 Coming and going
Days in a high riseNights on the ranchBefore sun breaks fogBefore Big Red crowsThere is melody dance
Ignore egg becomes toadSalvation in an $18 crossBefore you fall to kneesBefore you miss motherThere's bagpipes for loss
coming and going
Kitsch red rose Cliche emoji tearBefore step on crackBefore pass over pennyThere's grateful fear.
