back-words... more old poetry...

I was sifting thru old email (circa '99 onward) and came across some works that I hadn't recorded elsewhere nor backed up to here. I know this is the first post in ages, but writing about all that has happened in this time will have to be set aside for one or more posts. Ironically, the reason I was even doing this has a little to do with why I was gone, however I was not expecting to find things to post!

going, going, gone

i reached out

into the darkness

and grabbed nothing.

now i have

what i didn't before...

i stared out

into the brightness

and went blind.

now i see

what i didn't before...

i stepped out

into the emptiness

and fate prevailed.

now i feel

what i didn't before...

unitled lyrics

gimme a dime i'll give you the time livin lovin as one

as separate beings individuals we face the world as

entities searching for that higher place searching for

the love we need gotta be gotta have oh that state of

mind the oneness the singularity of the two making a

whole we gotta take the time to realize to sympathize

to know the differences between what's right and

what's wrong we gotta be quick to decide gotta know

the answer can't make another mistake how ya learn the

lesson hard can be the killer and then you fade

away...

 

 

memories

 

memories, 

like autumn leaves, 

fall where they may 

into their place in time, 

only to be scattered and lost 

by whispers of age 

and hint of new colors 

to show 

on the tree of life...
