Jack 88
You can live your life believing all will end well However, where we end up we can’t really foretell Expectantly looking forward, to a time of warm peaceful bliss But if continually knocked down, would golden really be like this That so called period of the golden years Sometimes easily drifts away in darkness and tears ...

88
Lovely ebony and ivory Together in harmony Packed in wood Sounds so so good But before melodies can be heard There must be a pair that are unencumbered Yes A talented two Definitely will do Gifted fingers that are light and feathery Swiftly across the keys, rendering a sweet melody Chopin and Tyner are gently on my mind Beautifully tickling the keys, oh so sublime...

Premium Member No Title, Yet - 88
Reuniting with old friends is always lots of fun, Because it’s been years since we’ve seen each other. Back at the ballpark again for baseball in the sun Swapping stories about our new lives as mothers. It’s hard to believe so many years have gone by, Yet, we all still look the same…well, almost the same. We should keep in touch,...

Back In 88
I am looking for a book I left on a train back in 88. A book concerning explorations made on the Metropolitan line between Harrow-On-The-Hill and Croxley. An odyssey only reaching its destination today as I now circle low over the Jovian moon Calisto. Close to her sad old face I can see that she was a good mother and an unfaithful wife. Diana, Zeus clad in...

“Lumi, what food do we have left in the sleigh,” Joulupukki asked the elf. “A good deal of it, dried meat, bread, jam, nuts and most of the dried fruit. Why?” Then it dawned on him, “we do not have enough to fill these Trolls.” “What if...

Premium Member Heman the Ezrahite : Psalm 88
Your only friend is darkness? Heman the Ezrahite. That's not how to end your psalm, with ache of lonely soul, awake to darkness fall each day, to deepest darkest hole as morning clears the dark away. Yet you persist, Heman, to have your say, to steel your darkened heart to pray. Suffered from your youth, and always close to...

Premium Member Until the Drought of '88
Until the drought of '88 Euphonic sounds adorned his walls, as he, his wife, and daughter ate and laughter tripped through carefree halls. His wife caressed the ivoried keys until the drought of '88, their daughter sang with youthful ease; each day a gift to celebrate. That baby grand now bears the weight of dust and silenced dreams once dreamed. Until the drought of...
