Summer Storm
As the storm clouds did gather
The birds
ceased their flying
Taking their shelter in wind whipped trees
From the north the lightening is streaking
As I watched
an errie light was shone
Thunder broke over the mountains
Shaking the foothills with a vengence
And in it`s awesomeness
I trembled
A noise thrown from the lungs of Hell
This continued until well after twilight
The red lightening split
the sky
And still not a drop of rain did fall
Was it just mid summer July`s storm
Is God threatening us with the
devil
Or just assuring us of his power

Savior
A madman came stumbling toward me
Screaming and
jestering like a banshee
Waving a paper in front of my face
Shoving
and pushing me into space
My fevered brain unraveled the scheme
The words
he screamed echoed as a dream
'It`s poetry,it`s poetry,all is poetry...
My
life...your life...all is destiny'
I had stepped almost over the brink
The madman`s
words caused me to think
And what had saved me from the rim
Was the
fact that I believed him...

Spirit
Spirit
From the land
Of tomorrow
Laugh
And share
Our joy
Cry
And share
Our sorrow
Travel back
To yesterday
And tell us
There is a way
Out of the trials
Of today
Mark a trail
To tomorrow
So when we tire
We may follow

Autumn Of Home
Autumn hills still beckon
Missing them each second
Maples turning scarlet
Fields of Gentian Violet
Interlaced with goldenrod
Where my youthful feet trod
Cool promise of frost
Wandering as if lost
Missing the hills of home
Yearning for them alone
Wandering Ontario`s shore
Was peaceful in days of yore
I miss the bronze of the oak
In style in autumn`s cloak
Autumn is the time of year
I want my old home near
Hills of Wayne it is true
Oh, my heart is missing you

Cat thoughts
Leanin` back
Sittin` on the porch
taking
my ease
Saw Mamma cat
Comin` through the weeds
Carryin` a baby bunny
for her kitten`s
needs
Planted in my head
these here seeds
No matter how safe
in our world we do feel
Let
me tell ya`ll
what`s for real
Ain`t no matter what`s
in your pocket book
Ain`t
no matter how good
your future may look
Just like that bunny
feastin` on clover
in
the lawn so sunny
nothing but dinner now
So keep alert looking
over your shoulder
or
ya`ll may just
end up as cat chow!
Meow....

Ups And Downs
It`s a steep winding path
that leads to the upper ledge
Above the waterfalls
As
I make my way slowly
On rocks slippery in wet spray
The top beckons and calls
At last looking down
The view is breathtaking
After all this climbing around
I
finally do realize that
The view was just as equally
fantastic from the ground

Friendly Battles
Watch that your tongue be kind
Friends may not
be of the mind
A verbal war among friends
Is a hurtful war no one wins
Friendly battle is the worst kind
It takes
the most toll on a mind
Also having this among it`s many sins
If nothing else it may gain
It lets you survive so
that
You can die again
... and again

Simple As That
Excuse this old country girl
But do you notice
This worlds in a whirl
How it does
makes my blood boil
They attacked us
on our own soil
If we`re
so great
and strong after all
Someone tell me
how we missed that call
There`s drug dealers
on
the corners of the street
Careful where you go
never know what you`ll meet
Now our children by law
can`t
pray in school
Doing this they would be
going against the rule
There`s lots of homeless people
living
in the street
This is the land of plenty
,now ain`t that sweet
Sometimes I wonder where I`m at
Where I grew up
the good guys
Always wore the white hat
The bad guys always wore black
They were easy to spot
And we gave
them no slack
Heroes never ever rode away
The bad guys didn`t get to stay
It was never any other way
Black was
black,white was white
I`ve never understood grey
And I`m still trying
Up to this very day
White was white, black was black
Right was right,
wrong was wrong
Simple as that

Ode To A Smoke
Your hold on me you`ll never let go
I`ve tried everything I know
In a trunk I locked you up
But I didn`t have any luck
You got out and hunted me up
Wanting you is whopping my butt
No matter what I do
Cigarette,I dream of you
The doctor told me not to smoke
He said it could make me croak
Oh,oh,your wonderful smoke
It does make me gag and choke
When I die and finally leave this land
They`ll have to pry you from my hand
