Premium Member GREEN RIVER WYOMING
Somebody said that in Wyoming That a body could recover from The N.Y. blues that leave your soul so dry I bid farewell to Montauk And the sadness in her eyes Knowing somehow that I never Would return. Now the skies over Green River Somehow are not that different And the losing end remains the losing end. Some days I'd trade my highway shoes For a key...

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. Rachel Carson Earth shows off it's evergreen trees, a home to the yellow bumble bees. In the winter there can be a deep freeze, with a cold breeze. The birds are sitting as close as fleas, saying warm up please. Warmer weather...

Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, the beautiful blue river loved a strong green tree; The green tree lived amid the wet blue river; After decades, the river dried up; leaving not even a drop of love; And the green tree too uprooted without even a leaf of life ! The blue river was my beautiful Mother ! My handsome father was the...

The Green River
She slips from the sleeping ice. Green, fresh, free to flow through the great fjord. Past the blue mountains. She glides smoothly over the rocks with glee, covering them with her cool touch. Tall evergreens cheer her on. Waving as she courses down her chosen path, carrying life. All the while never tiring! Surging forward to join the others like her. This vast journey , will not...

To Remember Rightly
To remember rightly Many years gone before I visited the country where I spent my childhood. Flat landscape with green grass and many horses, some of them huge and belonged to an occupying army.

Simple Pleasures
I strolled along the river bank, in shade of woodland tree’s Fragrant wild flower scent, was hanging in the breeze There in amongst the colours, of every green you’ve ever seen I came across a waterfall, in the mid drift stream Sunlight played in the waterfall, a glory to behold Shining in its crystals, turning them to gold Then...

Worlds Apart
Silent is the stand, gentle is the gaze The view of the meadow is grand, in oh so very many ways The person looks on, all is as it was Gentle and green grass, dancing every day Resplendent river of rich mass, safariing without a stay Soothing sun’s soft seal, seeding spirit so Hearty and...
