a piece of wood with a whisper of a stream a place as familiar to me as my woman's smile a place known to me as the years we used to go there and drink beer we used to spend hours by that dumb little stream talking bout how we was gonna get away from our dumb little town conquer the world and never ever look back never look back
forty years later im flipping the pages of my day laughing with new friends and there is that place that piece of wood with a nothing whisper of a stream lookin up the hill wykagyl golf course by the 8th and it all came back all my long lost friends not seen in forever were right here with me
but it isnt my home its a place far away trick of the eye trick of an old mans fading memory's but thats ok it was nice to visit that piece of woods with its nothing whisper of a stream
thanks to a fellow poet madison, for letting me go home for a moment.
