alan brown Poems

I sit here all alone at night
thinking of the past
Dreaming of the days gone by
and how they used to last.
...

A dog was left in dyer straits
by an owner still unknown
She was thin and week and wiry
and you could see her bone
...

I look out at the sky at night
and count the endless stars.
That can be seen from any land
no matter where you are.
...

A creature wandered through the wood,
undaunted by the soundless clip of its horse like hooves.
Deliberately it raised its head and smelt the morning air,
tasting droplets of dew lingering in the morning mist.
...

I know I Am not American
and don't live in the USA
But I saw this man on TV news,
Just the other day.
...

The Night was warm and peaceful
as I walked along my road
The sands of time had caught up with me
As on and on I strode.
...

The days were long incorporating my only will
as time immortal dragged tastelessly at my sole
Giving hope to my mind as time went by
but shortening the days of truth
...

After a very long day
man will always rest his weary limbs
while women continue to work.
...

THE STORY

The dream was nearly over now
I could feel the endings near
...

The earth was shattered by an eerie sound
as the storms covered the land
Had man being born to bear and break his back
as he toiled the soil at hand
...
