Long Outdistance Poems

,It's like some long lost fairy tale 
That's handed down through time
But couldn't be, as you will see
For this strange tale is mine.

I chose to take a country road 
I do from time to time
To...

See the old, gray-haired woman
Every afternoon. They watch her.
She is always sitting in the rocking chair
On her porch, sometimes reading,
Sometimes knitting,

both hard to swallow

one can bring tears to the eyes
the other tears from your heart

Cannot now outdistance.
Crazy takes energy
Worth a sad elegy.

Happy birthday to you gorgeous
Your smile has brightened my day
I sense a resilient heart in you.
And a willingness to play.

You have uplifted me this morning.
I am feeling better now.
You make me want to dance and...

with levels of nuance like well-aged wine,
to engage the ear and limber the lungs
as sea winds seasoned with fragrance of brine.
