Night Travelers

Night Travelers

The further I walk

the higher I go

The longer the climb

it seems the less I know

Through darkness

Through rain

under a thousand night skies

That which is hidden

compels me to climb

The longer I walk

the higher I go

The steeper the climb

it seems the less I know

I cannot see around the bend

Press on I must without notion of end

I cannot be that which I am not

I cannot hold in my hand what I've not got

The further I walk

the higher I go

The longer the climb

it seems the less I know

Through darkness

Through rain

under a thousand night skies

That which is hidden

compels me to climb

Better With You Than Away

Better With You Than Away

I am like an albatross

laboring to and fro

busy with the needs of the day

building bringing hoisting

then flying up and away

to rush in and down

-back.

I carry all that I can.

Soaring toward the sun, blind-is my thrill

wind all about.

I am like a night train

clickedy-clack

hug the track

I streak by quiet

My load it creaks upon the rail

as I drag on by

here

and then I am there, gone.

I am as the kite that soars

with string flying

away.

I am a happy song-

an invitation to dance along.

Let’s take our time

Let’s dance a jig

Let’s raise a glass

Let’s wear a wig

A boisterous cry

an outstretched arm,

our chorus raised:

“Come join our song!”

I am better with you than away.

Good Morning "Y'all..."

Why Hello All!!

Having arrived back from vacation, I find myself 

busy catching up and tending to my daughter who will be 

returning to High School shortly (and then my son will be back off 

to college!) Our vacation to Milwaukee to see my family was wonderful. 

Here are some tidbits (please forgive occasional clarity 

issues on photos as I am using an old Olympus camera 

until my nice camera returns from repair in about 3 weeks or so...

I am missing my good camera sorely!) 

:-)   

Top: A beautiful light pink day lily in our front yard is blooming well!

Middle: The front yard wild flowers were calling this morning, 

gently waving in the cool mountain breeze. The bees seemed 

(to me) to be sleeping on my flowers :-)

Bottom: O.K. Barbie is 'stylin' again... :-) Featured here 

on a red-haired vintage bubble cut Barbie doll (I always 

feel like I am commenting on a fashion show at this point :-) ) 

is a tan, fiery red and black silk (bodice) and satin (skirt) 

evening dress with a hand made matching purse (that was hard 

to sew!) As you can see, the doll currently has no shoes as vintage 

Barbie mules are quite expensive!!!!!!! Hence, the shoeless doll! 

Enjoy your day, friends...

lg!
