Miles From Home 

Now

He gives me that inquisitive stare 

“Don’t look at me like that 

I know mate, I know 

I should never have left the wife”


Today 

I went left, instead of right 

No matter what direction 

Or decision I choose 

At the end of day 

There will be night 

My time to rest  

And remain out of sight 


Tonight 

I will sleep under the stars 

With my loyal companion 

By my side


Tomorrow 

I shall take the backroads 

Miles away from my troubled life 

Miles and miles 

Beyond those days of strife

Is There More?


Beyond my front door

Will there be more?


When the lights go out

I quietly sit and stare

To see what is out there


Is there more?

Than starlit stairs

And when will I?

Begin the climb

New Horizons




The calm whispering sky

Becomes the morning’s warm foot-bath

While doggie paws wander on the winding path


Dawn’s old cogs begin grinding

Rusty axles are slowly turning

Daytime wheels start rolling

Time never stops revolving

New seasons always keep evolving

And summertime lights up new horizons

Lingering Songs


sometimes I wished

for love to linger longer 

other times I wished

my soul was stronger

 


old love lingers on 

within lullaby songs 

is my heart right or wrong? 


sometimes when the music plays on and on  

I hear my angel humming along
