The night was deep as I prepared for sleep,
Appointment with nightmares for me to keep,
Then the phone began singing steadily it was ringing
In hope of hidden someone me bringing
To talk, to implore, beg me out once more.

Hanging the phone and my head looking at the soft of bed
No rendezvous with those dreams I so dread,
I would soon be going to a reality unknowing
As the despair of thoughts were growing
To go, and to aid, to rescue once more.

I saw him as he sat in the calmness of a cat
I was going out again and that was that
All he would need was a little more feed
So I filled his water and food with speed,
Took my cane, and car keys heading for the door.

As I strode to my car I chanced to see a falling star
Across the sky with not a wandering cloud to mar
Slowly, carefully I got in, starting the car’s engine
To journey a path that I knew not where would end
So driving and heading for another rocky shore.

After miles and miles of driving at last there was arriving
To find her teary eyed but yet surviving
Broken beside the road to her I slowly strode
Stayed to comfort till the truck came and towed
And I left, with her returning home once more.

It was near the break of day and I dropped her off on the way
Continuing though she did beg me to stay
To journey the last alone till arriving back at home
From the tired travels I did sleeplessly roam,
To shower, then redress to leave to work once more.

What a tale to tell Proff, but as usual, you tell it as only you can.

Thank you, Gentle Spirit,
Not a true story, one generated from reading EA Poe too late into the night,
But similar things have happed to me.
Pleased you enjoyed the tail.

Dear Gandolf,
Only you can write the way you do,
Always telling a little of truth
So profound to drown the reader
Submerge them in your amphitheatre
Circling us around a scene
Whether harsh, or cruel, angry or mean,
Or tender flowing like a stream,
With love for friends
And love for others.
Always the treasured words you're hunting.
When found, you put them all together
And share them like a troubadour.
I'm always wondering what's next in store.
Shakespeare had not much on you,
Just different time,
Perhaps the mood.
It's time to make a volume blue
To sell within a little room
Inside a book collector's store,
For someday, we will wish for more.

......jo
