Cotton Candy Clouds

Sunflowers of yellow gold
and peach trees along in rows
our naked feet we dipped in the creek
a kiss of wind was upon our cheeks

Thick blankets of tall green grass
that we both sat on back in the past
billowing clouds filled the afternoon sky
looked liked cotton candy to our childhood eyes

String fishing poles you made for we two
we got muddy clothes
and we wore no shoes
a waterfall cascades back from that time
pressed between the pages of 1859

Close your eyes now dear, is it me that you see
a short haired brunette smiling bright and free
you tousled my hair, as I looked up to you
a punch in the gut, I gave you one or maybe two

Treasures from a lifetime we will always keep
for as it is said still waters run deep
Life in the south Amen it will be
together forever My Johnny Rebel and Me

Simplicity and Peace ....In another place, in another time....

Looking at myself
with anger
abandons me
and I am out there and feeling
the paths of this reality

The emptiness the solitude
which i have let myself become
has been my model
and now
the fight for this temple is hard

I searched without sense
for the words
I searched
for the reasons
I walked
for so long suffering blind
paying the price

Will you call me your love
your friend, in the end
May I join you on the other side
forgiven of my sins

My torment no longer hides
I am naked here before you
will you pick me up

Through your hand
I have no more hidden words
and I wish
yet to be loved
to find peace
to break the chains that bind me
replacing them
with the colors of life
