LIFE PAGE






When it Rains
thunder roars, lighting strikes

it covers every place you go

like a guitar tuned just right

it maybe soothing to the soul

i often watch it all come down

the pitter patter on the windowpane

house is empty, when you're not around

i call to you, but all in vain
Cold NOVEMBER
I awoke at morning light
no birds were chirping
no squirrel scurrying in delight

I looked outside, as i sipped my tea
Everything was snow covered white
No green, no red, no brown to see

Like a color print picture
turned black and white
The Autumn Spirit has left us
overnight

NEBRASKA, Home Again
Here I've been
This place I've seen
Where white is white, with little brown
Honest people of an honest town

Here, horse plows
milk of cows
Farmers give and take from the Earth
sometimes of profitable worth

Omaha is born
aisles of corn
from the fruited plains, we start
picture of American art

And every year
I come back here
there's a big white barn i like to climb
think i'll stay this time.

Same Old Bar Story
It seems an endless stare
through smoke and smell of beer
You spot the radiant Blonde
whom, at the other end of the bar
contact is made when she notices
your piercing stare
she gives you a welcoming glance
orders her drink and returns a gaze
Depression brought you here
and you struggle to maintain a smile
Every drink makes the jouney easier
Til finally deciding to make that long trek
through hostile territory to reach "destiny"
Your thoughts of an Interlude are dashed
as she says with her gentle smile
"no"
