SCATTERED VISIONS
I wrote this on my computer-typed it I should say. Normally I write my poems out on paper cuz I like the way that feels but it's been a sad 2 yrs and the love I have is rather stunted at this time. The poem itself is self-explanatory..I think. That's the thing about poems, it's a piece of our soul that we share with people..sometime in joy, sometimes in sadness. Peace

A WOMAN FAIR:
I met a fine woman, so beautiful and fair; I noticed the crinkles round her eyes and her beautiful hair; I saw she had life in the depth of her eyes and youth sprung about her with each step through the air; the fragrance of joy accompanied her smile and I wished that could just walk with her a short mile. Perhaps in my dreams, perhaps in a thought, I will visit you and sip of your beauty..just a little..if I'm lucky, perhaps a lot!

BULLET:
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE; PEOPLE DO! I have yet to understand the logic behind that conclusion other than to rationalize a right to carry a weapon openly and defiantly of the safety of others. So be it, just don't pretend it doesn't set others on edge that have not the inclination to carry knowing there is no need for it at present, though soon it may be as every tom, dick and harry that is scared of their own shadow feels the need to carry. May be it isn't even the gun that sets folks on edge as it is the BULLET that carries the ultimate judgement on whether a person lives or dies!
