The Preacher..parts 3 & 4
3 months after writing the second part, I was watching a western with Jimmy Stewart where he was the mild mannered mayor of the town when the bad guys came.

Count..the very first poem I put on Blogit in 2009
count the stars up in the sky, count the many tears you cry, count all the feet you ever walk, count all the endless grains of salt, count the many breaths you take, count the amount of words you say, count the drops in the morning rain, count all the stalks in a field of cane, count the waves in a...
