The party was in full swing a grand celebration in a warm home, as a group of familiar friends and acquaintances gathered for food and drink, music and laughter, waiting and watching for Time to reboot itself, and another year, to be born with the rising of the sun, instead of just a new day or week. It was here, at this mundane gathering, when he approached the Veiled Woman with a drink in his hand. “You have a tear in y...

Twenty-Nine. I am taking myself to bed on the precipice, but you will technically arrive sometime around four in the morning. Knowing my inevitable battle with sleeplessness I’ll still be awake as you come to pass. I know, I’m still quite the “Spring Chicken”, but for the first time, I feel kind of old, and you’re honestly the first that has been unwelcome. The journey of my 29th revolution around the sun, quite frankly,...

Come stand with me on the cliffs in early morning  As the sun rises over the edge of the world,  And watch as the sea birds leave their rocky perches  High up on the crags, to soar out over the sea,  Floating in wide lazy circles on the warming air,  Or skimming just above the waves, free as the wind,  And tell me that you do not envy their freedom,  Unbound by those forces that bind us to the ground.  Or again at noonday...

Thrain and company: Chapter 1 King Aldon sat in the quiet and empty library reading over a large book by candle light. Footsteps casually approached him and a voice asked, "You wanted to see me, my king?" The voice was Thrain, Aldon knew without having to turn from his book. Aldon finished whatever he was reading in silence then placed the golden ribbon, attached to the binding of the book, between the pages and shut it....

On a cool starry night with the full moon high in the skyI lean against a tree. Just thinking, hoping, watching to catch sight of a falling star. While I wait my thoughts driftto my friends and familywondering how they are? what they are doing? and if they too, are enjoying this beautiful night. Seeing a falling starI reach out and catch it then put it in my pocket and make this, my wish. That all my family and friends ne...

Before the rest of this tale, a little history of this Dream Maker from Oz... Long ago, eons some would say, a young man was born on the Isle of Man. His father and his father's father taught this young man the way of a warrior in the use of sword and battle axe. Many a battle did he wage, and songs were sung of his valor and might as a warrior. Then one day, as the mist cleared, he was gone. Some said he was bewitched, o...

This tale begins with warm western breezes pushing thru the land called Oz. The land of Oz was well known for the mystical people who call it home. People would come from afar to take consult from a ancient wise man.  This man a true ancient in Oz, with dark twinkling eyes, and a beard the colour of deep north snow. Each day he would sit in the warm sun in front of the local tavern. He was known as the Dream Maker of Oz....

It's as if I'm looking in a mirror, I see my dark red wig, curls perfect, my eyes closed- by Jason of course- but usually shimmery green, fear upon my face... I've felt a lot of that these past months. Jason is kneeling next to the bed- next to me- tears are streaming down his cheeks and I want to reach out to him- comfort him- but I cannot- unable in my ghostly form. What I would give- just to live- for a little more tim...

1If this were paradise--fall would never fade;the leaves so red and orange would always glowin the wonder of the autumn light, and the shadeof shadows from the trees would never go,and the ancient sun and moon would always shineand fill our endless days with fragrant air,and we would laugh and never think of time,or see our wrinkling skin and graying hair.But we are here on this October dayto see two lovers standing face...

Live  Don Abdul ©2005 ~~x~~ Life may be unfair Harsher in its judgement every passing year Loss of youth a great concern To those who hoarded that priceless gem Regret is for them You live but once So enjoy life, have fun by the tonnes For when the night comes Then aunts, uncles, dads and moms Shall wear their smiles, and their joy At memories of life’s little treasures, and lots to enjoy So you’re 55, Get off your fat bu...
