Reason To Believe


 The Post....
 



the old fence post
reminded me
how sometimes.....
life is like
a tangled wire
on a fence post...
a tangled
piece of barb wire
nailed to
a weatherd post.....
along side
a fenceline
of old
rusty friends..
just hanging around...

 The Visit....
 



As i sat in the darknss
of a house old and cold
i looked out a window
hearing stories once told..
though i was a stranger
never been there before..
the old house welcomed
me at her door.
to look through her windows
and listen to walls..
So i'll know the secrets
she holds when she falls...
I thought of the sound..
when the church bells rang
and the music that played
for hyms that they sang...
i walked up one stairway
and back down anouther..
and Pictured a child
hiding out from her Mother....
The Old house is dying
Soon she will fall
but i've captured the visions
of what her windows saw....

 Goodbye June....
 



Goodbye Sweet June
see you next year...
you done your job
and brought summer here.
July was waiting
to bring hot summer days..
while school is out
and the children plays..
Days at the beach
Nieth a bright sumer sun..
I'll miss you June,
now that your time is done..
You wasn't too hot
and you wasn't too cold..
the end of spring
letting summer unfold..
I'll dream about you
once the heat is too hot...
June you're a favorite
I'll miss you a lot..

 REMINDERS.....
 



The old bus
put to rest
in a field
down a gravel road...
seemed a reminder..
That yes
I was young
once upon a time....
It reminded me
of bell bottom's
and mini skirts..
tight jeans
Ricy Nelson
and Bruce springsteen.....
It reminded me
of songs that spoke
of war ending....
days of peace signs
flower power
and free love......

 Don't Go Down The Lane....
 



Up on the ridge
off a gravel road
there's a lane
most people
do not go down.
they say a old man
with one eye
and a hook
for a hand
lives in a shack
3 miles down the road.
He loves his cats
and just for fun
shoots at shadows
With his Grandpas gun........
Once a month
he goes into town
in a 76 chevy pickup......
buys matches and salt...
Flour and bullets...
I've been told
he sits on the rocks
at nightfall
overlooking the lane
waiting for his dog
to come home..
twenty years have passed
yet still he waits..
calling out in the darkness
"Here boy..here boy"..
