Lost River Poems

My Friends... My Family...I praise your names
With this song...
The blessing of my days
Love now lingers...in my thankful
...

MY family...
Will they ever understand...
This dream of mine...
How great... and glorious...love complete...
...

I was there in that land beyond the sea
The night was the blackest....that...
It ever could be...
When guns to the left... and... then to the right...
...

Should you ever meet
A man like me
On a road or some busy street
With a back so scared
...

I was there...
Over in that land...beyond the sea...
Begging God...Don't let it be...
Lying... Frighten...Hiding on the ground...
...

So... I was in one of those Wal-mart Super Stores
Just the other day
When in the middle of the hallway
I felt someone grab my fingers tight
...

My family it's Hell I know
I tried to tell them so
Because truthfully I know
I know, I know
...

I wonder if people understand the snow
With its ability to recall all we know
To remember like motion pictures shows
Its great power to wash away grieve and pain
...

My poems speak of bitterness within my family
My soul
About pain and endless tears
Waves that washed and flowed
...

I've hated to talk about it,
but there has been so many after nights.
I've needed to work out, one more story.
