Imaginations

Thru the Past Darkly

by Chris

The rusty wire still

Stubbornly sticks to the

Thick, tall evergreens

I am wandering about

On land that as children

My cousins and I spent Countless hours exploring

The old pond is as

Green and unmoving as ever

Yet change is the feature here

Our grandparents are now deceased And so is what was

The back field is full of Natural green growth This field was once Flat and kept at bay The stomping ground of horses and cows

The chicken pen once Full of lively chickens Roosters, geese even Is now being reclaimed By Nature

Once a mighty garden Roared down the hill to End near the green pond Vegetables of many kinds Prospered in the soil And on the supper plate

Mickey the proud German Sheppard had a large

Area cleared for his own use Bones cluttered his area Strangers and chickens Were fearful of this dog Mickey’s house is empty And rests with a collection

Of memories

The whole scene is almost Depressing yet how can Nature be depressing? Nature rules ail and That is fine by me.

A Little Mash For The Backlash.

Who are we before one and other

As our eyes met and pass

There is another

But it is too quick to see into those eyes Too quick to see into their hearts

Is their heart male or female

Oh maybe their just another.

Each day goes by and many others

My mother, who is another beautiful being Yes we are another to

Just as the skies are blue

She says live the golden rule

And so does he my father who

Is another, say

Love on another

Yes we are friends not foes so now

We can progress together with one Another without ill weather,

Under the shining rule love one another.
