Book preview

The Glimpse

Catch a glimpse if you will, of my wandering pondering soul

Always in argument with itself

Like a married couple on the verge of papers served

Lucy, I’m home from work

Do you Wonder?

Do you wonder, in the still of the night

Of what is yet to come?

Do you wonder of tomorrow’s tale,

Alone in silent thought?

Moments passing, moments gone

The future unfolding before you

Complex place, this life you live

Have you really lived at all?

Gentle Dawn

Oh, how I Love, the soft gentle breeze, off the ocean,

just before dawn

It cleanses my soul, and touches my heart,

like a love long since gone

There’s peace in this moment, peace like none other

One with the world and time

To feel the breeze against my face

To know that I am alive

Hungry World

Silent boy, silent man

Lonely boy, hungry world

Waiting in the backdrop for easy prey

Waiting around every corner

To pull you in, and change your place

To change your thoughts in time

No one says I’m sorry anymore

It’s all about
