Lynn F Clemons

I can hear approaching footsteps
The keeper of the clock draws ever near
The struggle to find someone's love
Has reached an exhausting end, I fear
...

The old man rested quietly
His breathing labored and well spaced
His long gray hair spread across the pillow
Partially covering his wrinkled face
...

The Ghost of Fayette Street

It was nearly midnight in late October
A single car’s light reflected off the rain soaked street
...

Dark Clouds

Dark clouds on the horizon
Nowhere to run to
...

Let Freedom Ring

In the Mid-Nineteen Fifties
A voice rose up from the south
...

A Gaze Into The Heavens

I gazed up at the stars, late one night
Looking across the outer depths of space
...

The Soldier’s eyes stared straight ahead
As the Greyhound bus rolled down the road
He was returning to his long lost life
To his family, his friends, his home
...

An exhausted tattered gentleman
Walked slowly down the street
Casting his eyes downward
Just gazing at his feet
...
