My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Wolf Call to Vincent

Times when the poetry flows and I drift along not aimlessly,
but naturally,
-- a part of everything around me
times when my stubbornness keeps me out of tune
and I cannot hear the harps softly plucking in the air,
cause myself is the care.

Times when the healing rains become torrents of icy cold sleet,
when I'm alone against the world,
and I listen for the wolf to call and
scream obscenities in my head times when alone is alone.

Vincent must have heard the cry--
perhaps when starry night was born--and
felt the healings rains when Sunflowers was born-

We're alike he and I, a part of, yet not a part of-
when sounds echo,
colors kaleidoscope on merry-go- rounds of life.

I've trembled within my soul
to the love song I thought
I dreamt, and the rains of desire,
tossing the soft tangled
thread of breath
shattering the cries
of breath

I dreamt the sun, too,
was a weeper that sang to me
in the soft silky web of gossamer...

[Old Sarge]

Gentlemen, it is me duty
To inform you of one beauty,
Though I'd ask of you a favour
Not to seek her for a while,

Though I own she is a creature
Of character and feature,
No words can paint the picture
Of the queen of all Argyll!

And if you could have seen her there,
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement
And the mornin' in her smile,

All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll!

On the evening that I mention,
I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country
Known for beauty and for style,

Bein' a place of noble thinkers,
Of scholars and great drinkers,
But above them all for splendour
Shone the Queen of all Argyll!

And if you could have seen her there,
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement
And the mornin' in her smile,

All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll!

So, my lads, I needs must leave you,
My intentions no' to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you
Oh, I'll see you in a while

I must find some way to gain her,
To court her and attain her,
I fear my heart's in danger
From the Queen of all Argyll!

And if you could have seen her there,
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movement
And the mornin' in her smile,

All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll!

Summer Shower



Dark clouds rising from the Southwest,
Hot sun obscured,
A cool wet breeze.
Gray wall in front of the mountain,
Giant missles pelt dry dust.
Rain beating, beating on the roof,
A wall of water swaying with the wind,
Slacking up, then thundering on,
Dark, green, wet world.

Cornwagons rumbling across the sky,
Jagged lightning streaking earthward,
Storm dwindling to a shower,
Sun shining through the clouds,
And a rainbow over the mountain.
Shafts of sunlight slanting downward,
From holes in the clouds.
Drops of water glistening on the leaves,
Sunlight spreading over all.
Water dripping from green trees,
Birds come out of hiding,
Flying and singing,
Tranquil peace.

I Believe

I believe
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

I believe-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive
them for that.

I believe-
that true friendship continues to grow
even over the longest distance,
same goes for true love.

I believe-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I believe-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.

I believe-
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words, it may be the last time
you see them.

I believe-
that you can keep going
long after you can't.

I believe-
that we are responsible for what we do
no matter how we feel.

I believe-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.

I believe-
that regardless of how hot and
steamy a relationship is at first
the passion fades and there had
better be something else to take its place.

I believe-
that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done
regardless of the consequences.

I believe-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.

I believe-
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe-
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.

I believe-
that just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe-
that maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe-
that it isn't always enough to be
forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe-
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe-
that our background and circumstances
my have influenced who we are
but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe-
that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.

I believe-
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret
it could change your life forever.

I believe-
that two people can look at the exact
same thing and see something totally different.

I believe-
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.

I believe-
That even when you think you have no more to give
when a friend cries out to you
you will find the strength to help.

I believe-
that credentials on the wall
do not make a decent human being.

I believe-
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.
