from " The Life And Times Of A Dream"


in moments of weight
heavy and pour
three beans of Fate
no need for more
feeding these burdens
and opening the door ...

the giant inside
gentle and calm
three beans of Fate
once in the palm
now cast, to darkness
where the dream was sombe ...

this giant inside
out from within
three beans of Fate
where nightmares begin


` * `

-there is a darkside to us all
that we never really see
in the lights
of circumstance.

A word in hand is worth two in a hush ...  CTOwen/05

I was wondering why three beans, as opposed to two or even four? Maybe I need another cup of java to jumpstart my brain. LOL

it usually took John only three Jack and Cokes to lose the light of reality ....


and those were the "good" days.

He has since learned of his Diabetes, and how to manage the inner conflicts we all have inside.

But those are stories for other pieces to the DREAM ... seen in complexities but not really the man.

Through countless struggles of love, family and drinking ... I hope to portrait the story of his dream.

The LIFE AND TIMES OF A DREAM ...

thanks for your thoughts KC
