I awake from a stupor.
I'm down on the ground,
where I am surrounded by people,
who I see, but there is no sound.
What has happened to me?
A question, I would ask,
except there are few words.
which come with my gasp.
I am alone but then I'm not,
for here is what I see,
propped up against the trunk
of a dying, old tree.

Most people wanty to live,
few people want to die,
but living takes an effort
and we all must try,
to change this place,
from sorrow to the joy
reflected in a child's face
when viewing a new toy.

There is one thing
I wanted to do,
is sing Happy Birthday.
Sing it to you,
a friend of mine
from so long ago.
Today is your day,
today is your show.
Happiest birthday to you
are the words on this page.
Did you tell me,
what is your age?

A flash of light,
during a night dark.
A choppy sea,
stirred by the wind.
The rattle of leaves
across the sand,
brings life from a
fortress high,
when the World will know
a new life again.
For a man will walk
among the trees.
No need to know
or to please the way
it was done before,
for life is good
and yet, we still search
for more of what was
then a place to die
and to begin anew,
in the life of ours.

If I ever come this way again,
I hope you will be my friend,
for I want the World to know,
I love you much and I'll go
another place; a distant shore,
to a place never seen before.

From the depths of your Soul,
where love will root with emotion,
springing forth, when nurtured by
the good feeling which arise
by close association to others.
Familiarity may breed contempt,
if not tempered by understanding
of how the meshing of racial
differences, blends the personalities
of tribal customs. We do this
every day, through out our lives,
as we work; as we play.

I am older than glacial dirt
washed down the bed of
a glacial stream.

I fear not the fool,
who says, he is.
I fear for the one
who thinks we're his.

Campfire ablaze,
a castaway shell.
A pathway to trouble
of which I know well,
the road to Perdition's
slow ride to Hell.

An earlier time,
a slow dance,
is there time,
for another chance?
Isn't it sad,
an old romance,
never the same,
Cupids arrow perchance,
missed the target
and won't enhance,
the lost love;
an old romance,
just once more.
A last dance.
