Water soft and sensual
Healing cleansing resonating
Sinuous and curving
Yet unforgiving penetrating
Each watercourse forever probing
Quietly waiting for decay
To take a path of least resistance
To life sustained or drained away
Abundant in it’s everywhere
In waterways the great divide
Born to breathe we water weave
The plangent ice sings woe betide
Plumes from human inundation
Have made our skies a one-way door
A wall of pent-up energy
Call oceans north and south to war
Commanders of the tidal waves
With marching orders they proclaim
Send deluge forces on white horses
Their world of water will reclaim

Those letters that I wrote you
That read the words I never said
About the times we spent together
Things we could have done instead
Recalling dreams of living easy
The sound of songs we made our own
With all the living possibilities
On many roads we shared alone
Walking high roads and the low roads
Climbing rugged mountain slopes
Taking weather as it always is
Wherever next that kept our hopes
Leaving remnants of our storyline
In the orchards of our days
Written in the minds of left behinds
Who shared our long hot summer days
Many well meant conversations
Every wistful heartfelt sigh
Driven on by hopes of no regrets
To write that final line goodbye

What’s your poison whiskey gin
On either or I am sanguine
Tasteless ***** spirit hit
So, no one near will notice it
*** refreshes empty cups
A brandy fix restores your ups
All in all, the champagne thrills
‘til eyelids droop and temper spills
Come on, come on just one more drink
To bring my head back from the brink
Then lay in bed sleep like a log
Arise red-eyes we’ll walk the hairy dog
