(1)Young Tom visited his great aunt, until he was ten years old,
And soon after his next birthday, her old mansion would be sold,
Since she died, and he would miss them both, as nine years changed the date.
He completed school, did two years work, and started college late.
(2)At the end of his first Uni year, he [...]

Is she waiting in the snowfall of an unseen distant plateau,
That still lives today on Christmas cards all packed up now? Is that so?
Would the lamps that light the pathways put a glow upon her face?
Are these images of fantasies all gone without a trace?
Is she staring from the window of a house, with fascination,
And [...]

The Clairvoyant
Little feet hastened on the grass,
To the call of a mother,
She was her mother since those days,
Days of gory crimes the two were unaware,
But there was one man, who knew it all,
He dreamt of white flashes and red rivers,
Suffered a saga of bloodshed,
Drugged himself to forget her,
Forgot her address to protect her.
On [...]

Fortunate
Have you ever considered?
How fortunate you are
To gaze at the sky
And see a star,
And say to yourself
I wonder how many there are?
To walk through a garden
And smell the rose.
Skip through dewy grass
In your bare feet and toes
Before the sun arose?
Take long walks on
A crisp fall day.
Build a snowman
On a cold wintry night
Giving him eyes of [...]

I feel the the dew
from the fresh cut
grass beneath my
bare feet. The
sweet, alluring scent
of the blossoming
trees catches my
attention as the warm,
peaceful breeze wraps
me in comfort. I
find myself wondering
in a bed of flowers and
just in the middle stands
a delicate, red rose.
The divine beauty stands
as if it is about to speak
for itself. I awaken to
a beautiful spring [...]

I never see John anymore-
The yeras have come between-
He left for Minnesota
In the fall of Seventeen-
An’ then we both got married,
An’ the years have skipped away-
Since we were little boys at Home
A Fiddleing “Nellie Gray”!
The wind was blowing the prairie grass-
Both of us boys were poor-
And PA said “JONNIE WILL NEVER COME BACK
TO THE “Old [...]

The BIG-BUCK lived a happy life-
And roamed the prairies round;
A hunting for the PRETTIEST DOE,
That he ever found!
Untill one day the Hunters came-
He held his head up high!
He saw again the daylight dim-
HE SAW THE MORNING SKY!
This BIG-BUCK knew me many a time-
He watched me on the “HILL”
Where I wrote all these songes of mine-
And [...]

They say there’s a tree in the forest-
Where the leaves with the ivy twine-
THAT TIME CAN NEVER FADE AWAY-
AND THERE IS HER NAME… with mine!
The winds still sway that Sweetheart Tree,
Where summer days still shine-
And there is HER NAME on the SILVER TREE,
And written so close to mine!
Till fifty summers drifted by,
And fifty drifts of [...]

It sleeps beneath the grass and leaves,
Wherever the wild winds roam-
The untrod path, of Other Days-
Across the hills toward HOME!
The hurrieing feet of other days,
Have wandered on a thousand ways-
And down the little path toward home,
They can return… no more!
WE KNOW the years MUST drift away-
Till all of them are gone;
Leave only PICTURES of the [...]

She pulled herself out of the water, nails digging into the soggy riverbank, choking on weeds and coughing up the muck from the riverbed. She lay still for a while, long wet tendrils of her dark hair straggling across her face, her fingers embedded into the moss and leaves beneath her. Her jeans, heavy with [...]
