This is from my book, "A Poem For Emily"

Sounds Of Leaving Rain
I am rushing
Through the reaches of my mind
To find the thing
That you want most

To claim that land
Where no one has stood
And sail the flag
Of our mother-ship

A simple history
Is all I request
A tale of nine summers
Or of lakes in winter

Seeking after that word
That in which we can find comfort
Running to catch up
To your speeding train

I really thought I'd be better prepared, for this thing we call life, only to find I'm still lacking some little bit...

And this was my favorite...

Or of lakes in winter

how delightfully innocent. I'm going to enjoy your interaction with Passions, Camman...
