worn denim jacket
sewn on patches covered holes
earned from constant wear
Rolling Stone lips was a must
maybe Black Flag for the punks

place had a juke box
she would pick Jack and Diane
wearing Bobby Brooks

They say time matches on
Not like a July fourth homecoming parade
But a slow Orleans procession

meeting someone whos'
beauty is matched by kindness
a rare gem indeed
my lovely wife is that soul
one of God's purposeful seeds
planted in my life
a most barren of places
now it overflows
truest love in abundance
and a heart of solid gold

roller coaster drop
my breath is leaving feeling
that first sight of you

a mournful loon calls
wailing the end of the day
on still water lakes

in low vibration
fear becomes dominant trait
followed close by hate
