Patches


 Waves of night
corrugate to a winsome tide

crossing over late
mornings that have died

heat dried vines of
vineyards from past

seed not mental anguish
faithless souls are lashed

woven to breed us
are seeming less breaths

panting with struggle
in answer long quest

idle these Gods
ferocious their deeds

fear follows leaders
flesh of bones lay in weeds

grass by a millpond
hides quiet a scare

as thoughts do slither
in escape from lair

quietly sulking 
weeping a tree

stands still as a picture
 night's dew, on  leaves

fences forgotten
roads filled holes

a heart moves from sadness
this life, claims it's soul

while dancing delight
from a worm as it crawls

to caverns below these
shedding all nightly calls

Hi Jayne. It's always nice to hear from you. I still stop in and read a little, I try not to get involved with the politics, so to speak, just a check up on my buds. Yes I have kept in touch with a few of the poets on the sight, I had not heard from you for awhile, thats why I gave you a nudge. just to see if you would write back. and I'm a new grand-dad. so between the other grand kids and the new little guy, we have been really busy, football track,baby-sitting. wait stop. thats enough. the fun part, like I told your buddy Lyz, is the spoiling, then returning. God is good>!!! anyway sweetums, be well and may God shed his light on on you and your family. HIGGEST BUGS. John. PS Glad you liked the write for you.
