BACK TO THE VALLEY OF THE SUN
*
Back to the valley of the Sun
Where much of my life was spun,
There among the bramble bush,
The Cacti thorns and desert hush…
Back to memories both sad and true
Clashing with Salvadore’s sunset hue
*
Still, the mind’s alive with dreams
Of the morrow’s golden themes
Of endless morns of skies so clear
Een walks with a love that’s pure,
And cocktails on the back patio
While dinner awaits a hungry duo.
*
Thus, the days will pass too fast
As Time speeds on to form our past,
Yet, we have this precious hour
And minute to yield and prepare
For the most joyous voyage of fate,
That meeting at Heaven’s Gate.
*

I'm a young man in an old man's body, trying to catch up to myself, trying to find pieces of me I left back in a disconnected youth and the early years of manhood. I'm a stereotype of many in my generation who can play the 'blame game', yell 'foul', and 'let's start over'. But, we are what we are, the sum of all the scary kid-emotions we experienced, the gin mills and piano bars that became our sandboxes of pleasure - lotus eaters of the best (or, worst) kind, the love affairs that did not quite settle us down, the sad poetry and songs written in bars and motels along the way... A Dreamer! A Wanderlust! The world needs such fools as we to write our books, our poetry, our songs, to offset the madness that plagues the soul.
I've written fourteen books, over three hundred blog posts, in search of those pieces left somewhere in many parts of the globe. You can preview my books on the next page. There's even a Blog page...all my posts are not showing on this recently created blog page, but, if you want to read more, go to my official blog site and check out the archives: http://www.thefinalcurtain1
Writing for me is therapy for the soul.

Hopefully, we all make it to the gate, Billy Ray. It would be a nice get-together.
