The Yeti's Conflict

As I set and ponder,
My mind does wander,
As if in search of an answer out yonder.

Suddenly, a I sense a thought from a creature so rarely seen.
But he allows his thoughts to enter my dream.
With desires that flow like a stream.

He says his name is Yeti, and lives in a land of high peaks.
And, he is not allowed to talk to men that travel about dressed like freaks,
Who run up and down the mountain in streaks.

Artificial fur these men always wear.
But, He and his clan can only stare.
For talking to them is something he can't even dare.

For ancient law prohibits them from talking to beings so strange.
But, he wishes to discuss the lands that so far away do range,
And much knowledge we could exchange.

Now, the dream does end
I now wonder how, to him, a message I could send.
So as to, cause his sadness to mend.

Some Men With Broken Hearts

Some men with broken hearts faint
To never trust nor hope still
I, a withered plant, found life
Again after drought

Parched through howling dust of years
The land disfigured my root
I bore but sparse, rough, gnarled fruits
Borne away in chains

Of chest crackling winds. What dew
Was there was only mercy
Enough for groaning branches
Of a tree to wait

The overhanging clouds death
Its white demure face blackened
With pregnant cells for joy
Faith lives for the rain

Mere desire becomes dust soon
In the lynching rays of sun
But true love nothing ruins, time
Docks hearts where they pine

So cloud and ship yet you come
Wet with cargoes of my dream
Bringing cargoes fresh of life
Loving me again

Some men with broken hearts faint
Yet true love in all abuse
Hopes and never dies. Lord, teach
All men to believe
