The Unicorn and the Virgin

She quietly slipped through the shadows
of the early morning dawn her bare feet following the path down through the valley and into the enchanted wood her hair blowing lightly in the breeze as it trailed down her back her heart is beating
with anticipation golden droplets of sweat bead her bare skin will he be there will this be the day of all days she has waited and waited for the moment that she could slip away and know for sure if, yes, if he would be there for only a few are able to see him only a few

Innocence lost, but yet innocence immortal. Knowledge attained, and knowledge lost, forever the circle closes about itself. Physical attraction and wonder, fulfilled.

Mountain StreamI can hear the sounds of the water
as it rolls and tumbles
down this mountain as you and I walk together along it's banks following an old trail probably made by generations of Cherokee as they
hunted and searched for intruders Not unlike us, for we too are intruders but yet we feel
yes we feel the echoes of the past about us and we feel each other cannot the past and the present blend into one voice to speak that which has not been spoken? Cannot the spirit of the peoples come together through the swirling mists to make Mountain Stream

WithWith the coming of the dawn, I watch you As you rise to greet the day with your hair around your sleepy eyes and the warmth of your body as the chill of the morning touches you
With the sun climbing high into the morning sky, I watch you sipping your coffee, trying to awaken as you walk about the kitchen adding beauty to the bare room
With the heat of a long afternoon, I walk in from the fields so that I may see you, and drink in your being you dont know Im there, just outside the window watching you as you go through your daily motions I am so a With

Traveling OnIt is in my nature to travel on toward something new as yet unseen by my eyes, so old and tired of the same view seen since birth and felt
over and over but traveling on leads me into strange
places and wilder
nights, to build my
memories from
I remember that hot night in Lima, watching the lady in the black dress whirl and dance to the music of
her lover's guitar strumming first softly a bit flirty, and then harder and harder as she whirled and danced making love to the sound Traveling On

Here with KittensHere I sit
with kittens about
my feet staying in where
its warm and I can write my daughter is sitting at the kitchen table playing her big guitar its almost too big for her to reach around but she is making good, smooth sounds and I am feeling contentment Rachel is in the other room flipping the t.v. channels looking for something to watch the kittens are playing with my bare toes having fun while I just sit here and write Just a common day for me a glimpse into my world and still the Here with Kittens

I'll Be RollingGive me a road and I'll travel it rolling, just rolling looking out
through the windshield that is how I wish to see the world rolling, just rolling I would spend all of my time going somewhere anywhere no destination in sight rolling, just rolling Im ready to leave lets go come on, lets go Im ready to go anywhere rolling, just rolling oh give me a road
I'm happiest when I'm gone I'll Be Rolling

To BeThere have been many things through out my life that I have wanted to be a writer and a rambler a thinker
a lover of life and a
lover but most of all I have wanted to be wanted just wanted by
a special one who understood me that really
got me without any difficulty and enjoyed my company that alone would be something that I wish to be To be myself and accepted To Be

The New Year Surrounds Us Now

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 5, 2010, 5:40 PM

Well the new year has arrived. In some places it was heralded in with much acclaim, and in others it eased in quietly, like a lover returning from a rendevous, with his shoes in his hand. How ever it arrived for you, I do hope that you all have a good year, for they are rare.
Soar like the dreams of man, gathered by the winds of time and scattered to the stars.

________________________________________ ______________________________

Live, just Live, and never stop to wonder why it is or where it is
just Live and keep on Living, one day it will all become clear!!!!

________________________________________ ______________________________

Through the dismal swamp of my minds eye
come these attempts to explain
this ferocious thing called Life.
