In This Olden Soul, a Fast Dancing HorseIn This Olden Soul, A Fast Dancing Horse
In this olden soul, a fast dancing horse
lively one I now can not ride, of course.
Looking on this world, it races away
saddened by hidden darkness holding sway.
With echoing hoofs tapping stronger beats
I dream of my love between silken...

Like Olden TimesTurn your doleful eyes to the dimly lit sky
The last you'll see of moon and stars is when our shards of fire die.
Take hold of me,Don't set me free
Your heart won't let you whisper goodbye.
Like olden times on the brown horse
Let's ride away,...

Give Me the Olden DaysGive me the olden days
Before I-pads, I-pods, and I-phones.
When phones were attached to walls.
Summertime people sat on their porches.
Listening to and scolding each other’s children.
Before “self-esteem” was invented.
Conversation ran rampant, people were not afraid to laugh
At themselves and each other.
No one was offended.
We were neighbors.
Everything...

Modern Ways Versa Olden WaysFirst let us take our friend the horse
a noble creature who serves us well
supplying us with a source of good compost
ferrying us here and there in fine style
pulling carts and carriages with aplume
carrying riders proudly on their backs
seldom a traffic jam and smell the...

The Olden DaysTimes were hard in Grandma's day
No electrical appliances had she
A ringer washing machine for washing the clothes
And a whistling gas kettle for making the tea
No electric lighting
Just a lamp filled with gas
That's what I remember
When I was a lass
Kneeling down, scrubbing steps
And not just...

Olden Time ChaseOLDEN TIME CHASE
Hear them shout!
Voices carried on olden winds
Young faces peering round trees
Round the corner of old houses
Seen through a scrim clouding memory
Oh there are Redskins!
There are bandits!
Guns whittled out of orange crates
Horses fashioned up from movie image
Hear them whinny
Alive through the...

This Olden Soul, Still Follows That Greatest QuestThis Olden Soul, Still Follows That Greatest Quest
Sad that time did so often this old heart pierce
rising ire, setting fire to burn so fierce,
yet within that red-hot cauldron high hopes rose
following enchanting dreams of sweet repose.
Where softest of morns turned to dreaded long days
with a...

In the Olden DaysIn the Olden days when we wear grasses,
When we dance naked under the rain,
When we were cooking grasses as drug,
When we have no fear in us and fear never
Haunt us just like the way it does now.
We were fine and good to go in the...

The Olden Days: a MemoryA friend so dear whom I do love
And whom I dream my future with
A stranger man thou art become
It is the thing I can’t believe.
Oh! I love the olden days
Of how we spent the lovely nights
With dancing feet along the way
With moon above and stars...
