PureCountry
Pleasing thoughts as the day ends.
Purposefully reflecting upon my life here.
Progressing to learn more within this realm.
Proposing the beginning of another day, as this one ends.
Positioning myself for what is yet to come.
Patiently I wait as the evening songbirds gather to sing.
Pleasing thoughts as the day ends.

The Musings of PureCountry
Ceaseless wanderings emanate
from deep within
As the Texas sun continues
her westward ride
Intently I force myself
backwards through time
Reviewing, searching for
the keys to my life
Striving to gain knowledge
practical or otherwise
so I may benefit
every soul I meet
Already looking forward
tomorrow's birth beckons
As today finds it's way
to the grave of yesteryear
Endeavoring to make
myself available
For all that God
may see fit to bless me with
Musical notes from nature's
own operatic tenors
surround me. I sit quietly
absorbing it all into my being
Ceaseless wanderings emanate
from deep within
As the Texas sun continues
her westward ride

Oh yes, this does indeed show maturity in development of your craft. I love to see this difference and growth in poetry. Expression is a muscle, the more we use it the more it expands and allows for more apce to work in. You are in the running.
