Old Friends
Willard Wells May 2015
Happiness' and warm feelings
Always found
As old friends are found
That walked  the same ground
In life as you.

It's been many years
But still hold fond memories
Of Old Friends
That walked the same ground
In life as you

We were young and naive
Learning about life
With friends
That walked the same ground
In life as you

We have lost our youth
Thinking of  memories of past times
We think of those Friends
That walked the same ground
In life as you

Just A Number
Willard Wells May 2015
As I grow older
And look back in time
I have no regret for all time

I have loved and lost
And loved again
And again

As my life past by
And boy did it fly
But then again

That's Life

Now I had a vision
When a youth
Of being 20 and out of my youth

Now I look on that vision
When no longer a youth
Not past my prime and I hope not my youth

But the turn of an ankle the lift of skirt and I remember my youth
In a way some of Terry Collett's work brought this to mind. Thank you Terry.

Sweet Dandelion Wine
Willard Wells May 2015
She's sweet in my memory
As dandelion wine

We were sitting together
Living life fine

Now we are together
For all time

Since shared together
A great day

By the  Dock of the bay.

Different Rides!!
Willard Wells May 2015
There is no manual for this ride

Some times it's a good ride

And sometimes it's a bad ride

It's kind of a roller coaster ride

The red ones are one kind of ride

And the blue ones are another ride
Scary?

But fun once you learn the ride.

Insomniac??
Willard Wells May 2015
Sometimes my yesterday's and today's become one

Sleep deprived with no sleep

Adrenaline flowing on a slow drip

It flows through my veins to my brain

Brings me to a point where I am still reasonable sane

Writers Lament
Willard Wells May 2015
As the sun rises and I already have 3 hours of energy spent and the attempt to slow the thought processes to a dull roar seems to have failed, yet I feel invigorated and excited as more words and thoughts, race across the compartments of my mind looking to find and keep the thoughts that will bring emotions and feelings to the readers of my work.

And even then will I really know if it's good or just polite. Either way it really excites to stir what you hope are emotions and thoughts that will stir others thoughts.

The draw from the energy of my brain is so great and not really wanting to lose my position as I sit precariously on the edge of the blade. How far can I lean to the artistic side of my mind before I fall to far and lose my mind completely.

What is life without risk, I like the feeling, I like the release, it's such a rush.

Yes it's worth risk to hang on the edge and hopefully this second cup of “Joe” won't push me over the edge.

New World
Willard Wells May 2015
I was traveling outside the realm of my known universe

The stars and the planets passing by as I am hurled through space

This is so exciting and new with an excellent view

And the music is new and excites me so I am not blue

But now I am sad and crying as the music stopped playing

And the stars and the planets are no longer passing by

Now I am wet and hungry

Oh Please mommy Start it up again

Please feed me, dry me and start

My Stars and Planets and music in motion again.

May Day California
Willard Wells May 2015
We have closed out April and welcomed May.

The rain did not come
The sun blazed on

Early summer heat
Conserve water

Hopes of saving our planet.
Conserve and stay cool

Work together
Life goes on

Go out and enjoy

Since this heat water no more

Every Day Love
Willard Wells May 2015
Every day and night lying next you

Every day holding you

Every day More special than the day before

Every day you change my life

Every day Now is special

Every day because of you

Every day love is all I need

Rain tease us lately
         Baking earth lately.

Lakes are low lately
         Rivers are low lately

Trees die lately
          Grass dies lately

Prices up lately
           Money down lately

Suffering up lately
            Happiness down lately

Prayers up lately
              Attendance down lately

                               Looking at life lately

                                                               Sad lately
Drought of California

— The End —
