a dream
I walked amongst sun drenched wooded hills in the evening, dusk rather.
The light prevailed upon my vision, beautiful, golden rays of blind reflections of
the past.....
Or future perchance?
Be it past present or future, it was time to make my way home, all the others were
before me, I was last in line.
A strange sense of silence was like thunder in my
minds eye, or an avalanche that devours
without sound.
I pressed on, with an urgency, but no destination.
Something behind me, a menace lost in the sun kissed cusp between night
and day.
I've caught a glimpse, and stagger with fear from stem to stern, top to
bottom............
through and through.
A bear of enormous proportions, patient, intent.
Quicken the step, and it brings him closer, slacken the pace
closer still.
All composure is a memory, with feet like wind I bound over rock
and stone, betwixt brush and thorn, through trees of agony with
the beast just behind.
No hope.
I can smell his breath, and feel the warmth, the stench of
his body.
Stricken with terror, no escape.
But whats this? A structure just ahead. Is that not my school from
elementary days?
Dilapidated, run down. No matter, there's doors and windows
brick and mortar, safety within.
Twink of an eye, and I'm inside, but the bear was faster.
Almost tore me asunder, when I failed the lock.
Down the hall, panic my only friend, all about left and right
open windows offer a safe haven.
Onward I stumble, no choice, that door at the end of
the hall, there is my solitude.
Burst through and I'm aghast, boarded windows
and there's no going back.
On the floor, under a desk, the beast is there, murderous for
flesh.

one of my favorite quotes from some unknown author........lol
" His father came back to him in the fall of the year, or in the early spring when there had been jacksnipe on the praire, or when he saw shocks of corn, or when he saw a lake; or if he ever saw a horse and buggy, or when he saw, or heard wild gease, or in a duck blind; remembering that time an eagle dropped through the whirling snow to strike a canvased covered decoy rising, his wings beating, the talons caught in the canvas. His father was with him suddenly, in deserted orchards and in new plowed fields, in thickets, on small hills, or when going through dead grass, whenever splitting wood, or hauling water, by grist mills, cider mills and dams always with open fires."...........

an old friend, whom I love
your eyes, they hold love, the depth of which
is impossible to fathom
like a mirror in so many ways, difficult
to endure
I get lost in them, and must look away
for I am weak
they see right through me,and always have
you see right through me
I, me, Eli boisterous and proud, crumble
with a glance,
I find myself there again, not falling
but fallen.....
just like the first time, way back then
love has never changed
nor ceased

I FORGOT MY LOVE
it wasnt the act, but the lie
how does one forget that love
or ever trust again.......................
am I a cheap shoe?
temporary, disposable?
left by the wayside?
an old chewed up piece
of gum? long ago having
lost its flavor?
was it meant to be?
or just #%^#%^
thrown to the wind...................

Why are you living in the past, bro. Is that sadness in your eyes? I think there are many opportunities to find someone with sincere as well as deep eyes that will appreciate your tenderness and wit. You are good with bantering about w/many here and are popular. I am going to pray for you. It's just that at my age, it seems like a good idea to use time wisely. God bless.
