Living the Cowboy Ways

It was pretty late in September
and I was over the Billings way
I was riding fence for Freddie White
on the west end of the Rockin Bar J

Well night time can fall pretty early
come along bout that time of the year
I started me up a little fire
and was cleaning up some of my gear

That's when I heard a "Whoo-up in camp"
softly floating over the pine trees
At first I thought it was ole Freddie
come a ridin' out to shoot the breeze

"Come on in" I yelled right back to him
my hand sittin firmly on my gun
When in rides this old bearded cowboy
looked to be bout a hundred and one

Well he said his name to be Johnson
so with that I passed him my name too
Asked him if he'd like to sit a spell
maybe share a little of my stew

For I had gauged him up to be a
decent and right honest man you see
‘Cause he seemed to hold himself just right
and by the soft way he spoke to me
 
So after we tossed down our bedrolls
and we had hunkered down near the flames
That's when Johnson pulled his red eye flask
we started toasting old cowboy names

Those names like Billy Brooks, Bose Ikard
Goodnight, Conrad Kohrs and Otto Franc
Olly Loving, John Chisum and with each name 
we tipped the flask and drank

As all the old cowboys tend to do
we reminisced ‘bout the olden days
And all the things we used to do
while living the good cowpuncher’s ways

How these here youngsters nowadays ain't 
got no clue ‘bout how things used to be
When a man could go from here to there
live and ride the range completely free

Johnson had seen just fifteen summers
when he started his first cattle drive
Sixty more winters have passed him by
he said his luck had kept him alive
 
For him riding herd out on the range
is the only life he's ever knowed
He said he would never trade that way
for no diamonds, jewels or gold

Well just about dawn the next morning
after we shook hands and parted ways
I knew that I too would never leave
behind me, these good old cowboy days

So when you find my bones out on the range
with my gun and saddle by my side
Just know I was still living the cowboy ways
when I took my final ride

Premium Member Respect and Kindness Is the Way

 
"Respect Begets Respect."

                                Proverb

I look at all people with value and significance and respect,
it does not matter if they are a friend or a beggar on the street:
or a food charity person, no matter what, they are fellow humans,
I never consider them irrelevant, or not important, or a threat;
and would never talk down to them, demean, or belittle,
or be condescending, this is what God wants me to do!

I will never judge others for what has happened in their life,
for my own journey has not been easy so I understand:
there are pitfalls and detours, there is grief, sadness, illness,
fear and worry to overcome, I found the strength and courage;
to move forward and heal my life, I care not about a person's,
appearance, gender, race, age, this is what Gods wants of me! 

I embrace the spirit of God and the human spirit each day,
and follow God's path of love in daily life, and of kindness:
to each person I interact with on my journey, its simple to do,
just treat each person with respect, it will make you happy;
your own life will be improved, as the old proverb says,
"Respect Begets Respect," this is what God wants me to do! 

My unique way is with tranquility, serenity and calm,
I have taught myself to let go of judgement and anger:
my tools are prayers, meditation, intentions, commitments,
being thankful, mindful, and embracing that things change;
nothing stays the same, there is always hope for better days,
and if my words can change a life, then God has taught me well!

Poetic Justice

Choked by the incense of poetic justice,
I volunteered to be slain for the betterment of humanity.
The paintings of my ink on white sheet were witnesses,
When in Abuja, I drew my poetic daggers,
Against a twin bomb blast that left separated Limbs of men bleed with acrimony.
Eyes wept with sympathy crawling down their cheeks
While our crown boast of a thousand solutions with no one in sight.
Poetic justice shall reign in Nigeria, I prayed

I handshake my communication god when it rang
And cling firmly my peripatetic poetic spirit,
To Didier's motherland, under the cloud of French stimulated Ivory,
I saw a goat-bearded-god mimic the suit of the stars and stripes.
And commands pagan's adoration of the sun upon his throne.
When scions of termites spit at the sight of our dead flesh.
I wept when hunger-lashed beggars’ union 
Cling on my feet for one CFA franc.
Poetic justice shall reign in Ivory Coast, I prayed

Under strong loyalty to tyrannical whipping with merciless rod.
I saw my brothers drip blood from the scars of yesterday.
Should religious fundamentalists be blamed?
When a star, firmly crucified on a sickle moon,
Grind the 'holy cross' people of the south.
While the big brother stood akimbo and watch vultures poke our intestines.
The referendum at hand smells secession success on my screen.
I pray for poetic justice in Sudan, Africa and the whole world.

In the absences of choice
I raise my voice
I kneal to proclaim
asking you this
the only one on my list
I am in love and not ashamed
I wanna be
your man
your husband
say you'll marry me
we'll say I do
to start ah-new
to remeber the kiss and ring I gave

Frustration encompasses
me when I struggle to be
more then anything
ah sorted need
to clear my head
and go throught things
I'll marry you
if you'll marry me
sometimes
I am lot
ah whole to deal with
thats what I said
I am in love to
you have become my everything

we're in love
so in love
ya'll noticed it to
you are all I think about
I enjoy spending time pleasing you
I am so in love
we're so in love
darling I'm in
love with you
we are one under the sun

honeymoon

The Bow That Bridges Heaven

He wrangled with his world, found a way to cross the seas
on merchant boats brimful of slaves, bound for British shores.
Innumerable are the things that we shall never know;
amazing, those things to which destiny holds the keys.

As a captain of slave ships, raw pain he thought to ease;
yet, time after time, clouds filled his skies with fear and dread.
“God laughed at my calamity,” he would say later when he found
the bow that bridges heaven and seeks a God to please.

He met with Wilberforce, a man settled on his lees,
challenged him, as abolitionist for slavery.
Years passed, but emancipation passed as English law.
The bow that bridges heaven, mankind from bondage frees. 

John Newton is his name; He’s one of heaven’s trustees.
Inspired he wrote, Amazing Grace, which brings to my mind
the rainbow -  God’s own honored promise to keep His word. 
The bow that bridges heaven and keeps us on our knees.

Is Kruel Really Cruel

Kruel is certain that Polly deserves life than death,
even if Polly couldnever take a breath
She has more time to spend with friends
She has lots of good friends

Why would Polly give it all up now?
Answers won't resolve somehow
Did Polly really mean it,
when she accepted the gift?

Polly must be hiding something
Kruel knows how her process of thinking
She has traveled through the Laser Trail
Many times, back and forth to find a tale

Was this something to be honest with Master?
If Master heard this, it might end up in a disaster
She was fulfilled with curse
That's all Kruel knows about life of hers

Kruel was sneaky
She tried to be tricky
Polly would not fall for her prank
Kruel can't be franc

Polly has a scheme
She has a dream
That Kruel can be friendly
And can be gently 

Polly's dream came true
Kruel changed out of the blue
She felt the way Polly wished to live
She wanted to give

The wish that Polly made
Make her tears fade
She was a friend
And she wanted to spend

The rest of life without
Master's business, Kruel doubt
But Polly smiles and Kruel believes that this is what friendship is
"Her smile to keep the Magical Universe from getting out of control," Kruel says

Premium Member Rejection Can Be Good

 
I have always known rejection and exclusion,
as a half-breed girl I heard the insult;
whispered, as a child it left me with confusion,
it still happens often as an adult;
I liked to be alone and seek deep seclusion.

Instead of playing in the school yard I read a book,
the library was my favorite place;
I could always find among the rows a cozy nook,
and in time-   writing things I would embrace;
I would fill all the pages of my school notebook.

I like going into the coolness of a church,
the silence is like a warm cloak;
lighting a candle for answers-   I search,
I like art especially paintings baroque;
and ever since I can remember I like research.

And because of all this I have become a writer,
with my grandma supporting me;
in my life, school, work, now-  never an inciter,
quiet ... when writing for me is the key;
and in time- a computer replaced my old typewriter.

"Life seems to be a never-ending series of survivals, doesn't it?"

                                       _Carroll Baker, B 1931, Actress and Writer

My life seems to be like pages in a book,
when I finish one chapter another begins,
sadly, not each chapter has a happy ending,
but some parts are quite happy and also funny,
I was a goofy kid, I recall my grandpa would laugh,
at my red wagon used to collect my forest treasures,
well, he was the one that made it for me for that purpose,
and I recall sitting in dad's workshop on his bench helping him,
well, not exactly helping but asking him a zillion little girl questions,
but he did not mind and would kiss me on the head and smile laughing,
see, its not all bad, there is a lot of happiness woven into the deep sadness,
it all depends on what pages-  I choose to recall from the chapters of my life.
