Chapter ONE
yes, that is it
write it all down before you forget
No edit no curls of dreams to cloud the mind today
Pieces of stories all rolled up like used cigarettes stumped out before their finish
Write it before the dark clouds of forgetfulness come rolling in
Like the tide stealing every hope of redemption ever held by man
Write it free verse
So that when there are snatches of light across the mind
They may shimmer for a second
Before igniting flaring and disappearing
Fireworks- like the shattering of glass when the end came
When the world that you loved thought you failed miserably
The fairy tale that life provided
Did not have its happy ending when the manure of daily living
Began to be a sweet memory.
The rain had started slowly with the gentle rhythm of the beat
Rolling along like the last parade
Her daughter marched with face turned up to the indigo sky
The rain washed some of the days dirt from her face and hands--it felt like being loved again
Warm smooth juicy quiet
Because they never came after her in the rain
No one left their shelter because the rain always left pain after it dried
For every drop there was a new tear in her heart
But that was so much better than the dirt of the day.
