TRAVEL

IF I WERE TO TRAVEL

FOR ONE MILLION MILES

HOW FAR WOULD I BE

FROM ONE OF YOUR SMILES

THOUGH DISTANCE

MAY CHANGE US

AND TIME MAKE US PART

I’LL HOLD YOU FOREVER

ENGRAVED ON MY HEART

AND IF I SHOULD LONG

TO BATHE IN YOUR SMILE

I’LL REFLECT ON ITS VISION

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE

FOR DISTANCE IS NOTHING

WHEN LOVE HOLDS YOU NEAR

AND MILES THEY DEPART

WHEN I SEE YOU SO CLEAR

Hammock

I rock like a baby

Beneath a mantle of green

For I’m so contented

Like I’ve never been

Surrounded by nature

I drift in her arms

Lulled into sleep

My inner self calms

The gardens an oyster

Its flowers her pearls

As I sway so gently

My worries unfurl

The music of birdsong

It beats my retreat

As I snore in rhythm

With the afternoon heat

Thought To Ponder – The belief in immortality rests not very much on the hope of going on. Few of us want to do that, but we would like very much to start again. – Heywood Brown
