Across the sky and over the shore
From Rocky Mountains to redwood trees
Words are written which everyone sees
Maybe ten thousand or more.
Against the winds and under the rain
On the Cliffs of Mohr to the valley in Kashmir
Words are spoken for all to hear
Maybe ten thousand will remain.
Who will read and who will listen
to the ten thousand words or more
It has been written and said before
To those that do, hope will glisten.
Seek and ye shall find ten thousand or more
Words of faith that comfort and heal
Verses in the Bible, so true and real
Those ten thousand words are still as before.
BLACK CLOUD
Mourvédre* cluster overhead
weight of Everest
capped on nerves
suppresses colors
squeezes eyeballs
behind dark sunglasses
lightening drills through temples
attempts to prop up
one’s globular head
with isometric fingers
grape stains on cheeks
relieve pitch of crystal
shattering the oppression
kaleidoscopic relief

*Mourvédre - (mohr-ved-ra) - dark red grapes
There is a fifties film fallen into obscurity.
However, it is now available on DVD.
The stars include Gerald Mohr and Dan O’Herlihy.
I purchased it to see out of curiosity.
This is a movie not too many know.
I last saw it on television over forty years ago.
I was too young to understand it back then.
Since that time, I had never seen it again.
This is a low-budget flick shot in black and white.
I watched in on my DVD player last night.
It contains much film footage from the last World War.
I felt I just had to see it once more.
Since release, most of the cast has passed away.
The title of this film is “Invasion USA”.
