Henry's Diary
September 3, 2000
_____________________

Today I set out on a journey unplanned--
To find my home in some distant land,
A place my ancestors came to hail,
Long since reduced to myth and tale...
I'm going to find that place, I will,
Though I think I don't have the strength or the skill;
But God will help me out on this quest,
For guidance, direction, and needed rest...

--------------------
Here I set out on a desert road,
Traffic is light but the hours are slowed...
I don't have a car but I'm walking the way
that I feel may get me back home someday.

The road is rippling 'fore my eyes,
In this heat, that's no surprise...
But what comes as a shock to me
Is the sudden sight of a tiny sea!

A pool of water alongside the street,
Enough to quench my thirst in the heat!
I stopped to drink, then had my fill
And kept on going with strength and will...

------------------
My tail is dragging, my wings are drooped,
The sun's really hot, and boy am I pooped!
I think I'm going to stop for a snooze,
A patch of shade is what I would choose...

__________ - _____________
           -
*As he lay in blissful sleep,
*Wings wrapped tight and dreaming deep
*Someone came and beside him slept,
*His promise to God to be held and kept.
__________ - _____________

____________________________________________________________
Well, if you read 'Oscillations', you'd know where I got this idea from...
Henry's trying to get home. He'll find it!

I hope!

I didn't read "Oscillations" yet, but I will try to find it. I thought this was a sweet poem on its own. Love things in the future that aren't all gloom and doom. Thanks.
