We Started To Go
We Started To Go,
Right After, "Hello,
How Have You Been?"

A Most Beautiful Start,
Your Smiling Heart's,
Winning Grin!

Appomattox, Yorktown,
Victories Sweet.
Etched Onto The Sounds 
Of Virginia We Breath.

A Most Beautiful,  .... Sight,
                             Your, ....Magical, Light!...

Ghosts
The face at the window,
the feeling of dread as I tread 
to the door, the mysterious welcome, 
a touch on my shoulder, a cough 
down the hall, a shadowy figure 
in Civil War dress looking oddly 
like me, blowing his bugle then 
vanishing into the dark.
I am back at Appomattox,
my comrades around me 
lying dead or dying.
In front of a looking glass
feeling transparent, 
we stare in the mirror,
there's no image, no image at all....
