Memories And Mist

 Memories And Mist

Oftentimes important things are not quite what they seem

And all that will become of them will drift into a dream

Fleeting like the darkness is the evening's final kiss

As lovers' warm endeavors fade to memories and mist.


Paint for me a memory of loves I’ve left behind

A watercolor image of the fog inside my mind

A breathless line of poetry, a moist and trembling kiss

In the foggy half reality of memories and mist.


Tomorrow I’ll remember in pastel blues and grays

The names and faces but a blur, a whisper in the haze

A subtle loss of details in the struggle to exist

As my sense of past and present fade to memories and mist.


Play for me a melody of loves I’ve left behind

In tones of sensual subtlety, the tune that haunts my mind

An intertwining harmony blending like a kiss

In the foggy half reality of memories and mist.

Chronicles Of Me: I Just Want Water!

Setting, Camping Out: I found a bean can, about a quart size that we had had for our dinner rinsed it out, and filled it with water on the campfire we had cooked dinner on. I watched it until it boiled for about 15 minutes on the fire and then moved it to my canteen. I restarted the whole process and did the same 3 times until both my canteens were full along with the bean can. I kept myself awake a few hours until the first batch was cool enough to drink, refilled, and finally went to sleep! The others were content to drink colas and sodas, but I had to have water! This happened several times in my life. When we came back from the fields sometimes Dad would stop at the station and ask if we wanted a cold drink. All I wanted was water. Dad said, just get a coke, someday soon they will figure out how to charge us for water!

Our Song Will Be New

  Our Song Will Be New I'm not a prophet, but I know that its true Our song will be new. Someone once told me all the songs had been written But I hear something different when I see your faceI  I hear a song as new as tomorrow That even time can’t erase. I'm not a prophet, but I know that its true Our song will be new. Someone once told me all the scenes had been painted But I see something different when I see your eyes. I see a vista as fresh as the future As blue as the sky. I'm not a prophet, but I know that its true Our song will be new.
