Flashing Fire

You are a gentle soul; you have lived in every generation
You lived in theOld WildWest
The plain young woman, a school marm of young and old
In her dreams of the sheltering night, a high steppin' beauty
at The Gold Nugget Saloon.

You are a gentle soul; you have lived in every generation
You lived in the early nineteen hundreds
A quiet young man a bookkeeper, working over figures
both day and night
In his dreams of the sheltering night, an inventor of new ideas
The light bulb, the radio, the fantastic flying space machine.

You are a gentle soul; you have lived in every generation
You lived in the year of nineteen sixty, extending into the year of
two thousandand thirty five
You are quiet and reflective, a scholar, a real bookworm they say
In your dreams of the sheltering night, you are an astronaut
flying to the moon, a scientist or in your wildest dreams,
a
handsome Don Juan dancing with a beauty held within your loving
embrace.

You are a gentle soul; you are living in this generation
You are a writer of dreams and of fantasy
A writer of pain, sorrow, love, hate, uncontrolled desire
and hope for all of mankind
You are a writer
You are a poet
Like a flashing fire the words are flowing from your
fingertips and from your imaginative mind
You are a gentle soul; you have lived in every generation.
Love Bon-Bon

Outstanding write.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
