PETITE-THINGS

PETITE-THINGS There are times When the silence Becomes so deep And the days so heavy That the world becomes lost To you, And they come Without warning Or surprise. These are the times When wandering conversations Seem to come To an abrupt end With the question, “where am I” photo by uTAH jAY In the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BREATH OF NIGHT

THE BREATH OF NIGHT Old Sam barks at the window, as a train whistles bye in the dusty distance. Later crickets serenade the closing darkness and down by the river photo by uTAH jAY the breeze catches in the long grass blowing in repetitious waves one after the other and at length these same soft...

TOUCHED

TOUCHED There are some lights In the night sky So very bright That they seem doomed To extinguish Over night Just as some spirits Are much too big To be contained In these frail little frames God gives us And also love So soft and real So plain and simple That mortal words Cannot tell The way we...

ON ANGELS WINGS

ON ANGELS WINGS It’s there, on the corner Behind the old feed store, A small stone building Fitted with granite and mortar In the long hot days.

JUAN’S FOUNTAIN

JUAN’S FOUNTAIN (or) WHAT IS LEFT OF THE OLD RANCH As slender golden light slowly dwindles and dies slipping over moon tide eyes, like life itself, and is soon renewed with a new dream’s color.

J. W. MURPHY CATTLE COMPANY

J. W. MURPHY CATTLE COMPANY He’s a modern cowboy An electric horseman So to speak Out riding fence lines And checking his stock. When I called yesterday On his I phone To see how he was doing And to tell him How I miss that home, That life on the range. I could even hear his old horse Clomping... Sign in to see full entry.
