Poem


How does the whistle of an old man prey
the memories gone day by day.
Whistle no tune or pattern at all;
Just a song for his season at fall

Every exhale brings into mind
a once forgotten lovely time

The macabre display of life gone short,
The array of battles won and fought.

How does the whistle on an old man prey?
Deep into his mind a love always to stay.

Life is this to the whistler now.
Life is all but a whistle somehow.

God Is:

The tapping of the waves.
The sunlight and rays.
The moments in your pocket.
The time, when you can't stop it.

The valley bewteen the sand and our feet.
The land where you and your mind can meet.
The guider of rain to the earth below.
The earth, man, water and this whole entire show.
