This man is an island uncharted in the sea and many are the shipwrecks that set their sails for me Down along the shoreline are remnants in decay and others sank beneath the waves while searching for a quay Peaceful waters beckon lonely sailors to their doom the jagged rocks below mark an ocean vessel's tomb Few have made it inland few can ever reach The crashing waves have...

The night was grey and overcast, full moon, though, lit the dusty path, a screened in porch was where we slept, the beach house for two weeks we kept. We were just kids then, twelve and nine and both asleep and sleeping fine, then something eerie woke us each and froze our breath, prevented speech. In foggy moonlight on that road the Grey Man...
