Long Fl Poems

We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then...

A
Small baby,
Tiny and frail
Deserted he was
By all his kith and kin
Wandering the world
Alone and pointless.
No compass to guide
Him no destination to 
Stop him he went 
With the wind
And ate with
 The mud
Saving
 Himself
 From

that we all need to realise the vision
throughout life doubts fill the mind

Throughout life struggled in speech

When you’re lucky
enough to find
Someone that sticks
in your mind
And think about it
through the day
Nightly you take
time to pray
Thanking heaven up
above
for blessing your
life with this love
Then something
inside makes you see
That both of you
mutually
Need to end it...

You have a promise
from your friend
They will be there
till the end
Cause no one else
will understand
The troubles you’ve
been through and
can’t
Find a way to just

These feelings that
leave you confused
Every time you start
to climb
A wall to leave it

My Saint John flow on
Through forest, marsh and town's spread
Tablecloth of stars

Conquistadors gone
The blue herons walk alone
In moonlight's silence

River and lone night
Memory is a wind's hope
Rustling swamps for gold

Let us keep our thoughts
In slow meandering...
