Shadows Constantly all around,Some stark, some subtle. Forms upon the ground. Shadows are ever present.Persistent never vanished.Darkness they too accent. Lurking for you to view,Images imagined or real.Depends how you construe. Before your eyes rearranging,Like the only constant in life.Continually always changing. Never leaving by yourself,Beside, in front, or behind.Traveling with you like an elf. Matching stride for s...

Lasting Legacy Looking up the word legacy: Something, From the past associated with. That is handed down or remains. From a previous generation or time. That is outdated or discontinued. Do I have a legacy, Never anything concrete. Have I done anything? Important enough, no. Not a lasting legacy. Of my accomplishments, Nothing stands out or screams. You have done this, To prove you were here. Not a lasting legacy. Thought...

Ever Present You touch my heart from deep within,your love is always ever present. I feel your warm soft kiss upon my skin,like the sun kisses me on the brightest day. I never feel that I am left alone to tackle,the rigors of my daily pace, you are here. I feel you, even when I cannot see you, just like the sun on the cloudiest days. I concentrate, turning my face in your direction, even on the coldest day. Like your kiss...

Staring into the heavens looking at your full face I can see the look of surprise as I gaze into your eyesStars pale by comparison to your brightness in space Appearing so small and dim as you illuminate the skies I am struck with thoughts of wonder awe and amazementScatterings of much smaller objects in the heavens twinkleShowering the sky like glitter I stare in bewilderment A celestial treat starts to unfold as my brow...

Someone who constantly makes you feel,wanted, needed, appreciated and cherished.Someone who never walks in front of, or behind you, but is always at your side. Someone who fills your mind, with thoughts of yes, I can do this. Someone who inspires you, to become more than you ever thought you could be. Someone who allows you to be who you really are, with no strings, or exceptions. Someone who makes you see, that there rea...

Old Cowpoke I am an old cowboy, yes I am, I grew up on a ranch or farm. The cattle and other livestock I learned early how to charm. Growing up, a real cowpoke was all I ever wanted to be. My brother and I always played Cowboys and Indians with glee. I was always Gene Autry; Champion was my trusty horse. My brother was Roy Rogers; he would ride Trigger of course. With saddles between our legs, mounted on our mighty steeds...

I can feel the ice grip as the temperature drops The snow now holding tight upon the hill tops Days much shorter now the sun lost some power The light vanishes quicker night has a longer hour I used to find once cold and snow I did embrace No longer do I enjoy frosty winds upon my face I know really that winter has a place in natural history Really winter does no longer hold any joy or mystery As winter each year approach...

From east appears new light Cresting on the horizon Bright glowing crescent moon New not old and wizen Laying on it side slightly askew Casting light discernible Making a mark in the sky anew With line now observable Rising above landscape so dark Reaching higher elevation Lighting path for journey long Starting on its migration Casting shadows upon the ground From trees and bushes Climbing high above me overhead Orbit lo...

Gold fever is it a curse or an addiction One has to learn without any restriction To search and find this illusive bounty One must dig and search every county The trial sometimes leads to wealth But most times is hidden and stealth This fever is not for the faint of heart You cannot give up before you start This metal of yellow glint does lure many Most all that are lured loose every penny Those true to heart and who stay...

There are all of these thoughts inside my head They are bouncing around and need to be said I know not why they keep haunting me But they labour relentlessly until I see The thoughts sometimes real sometimes bizarre They seem to come then go and eventually spar Round they go until a winner is crowned Then make the move when they are found From brain onto my fingers they fall into a groove As they pound the keyboard until...

This is for my grandpa the greatest man I ever knew He was to me a man of many talents always as I grew He was not a man of large stature or even very tall The word willowy or sinewy describe him after all He was a man to all who ever knew A hard worker his word always true He was not a man of formal education School of hard knocks his foundation He always used his words sparingly when he would speak Though his words or s...
